Why is it always like this

A screenshot of a Twitter post by user @VeryBadLlama (Janel Comeau) humorously contrasting different social media personas. The post lists three scenarios: Instagram ('look at my new boyfriend'), Twitter ('I can't get a boyfriend'), and Reddit with an exaggerated AITA (Am I The Asshole) scenario involving a 21-year-old female and her 53-year-old boyfriend who forbids her from entering the basement, has a sock drawer of missing women's driver's licenses, and an upcoming wedding in three hours. The meme satirizes the varying, often contradictory personas people present across different social media platforms.
