It does! But it got me wondering... Doesn't the excessive use of makeup have the same effect on people? As in "they look unrealisticly good", but using those filters just does the same thing in a split second instead of spending 30min in front of a mirror. I remember this imgur post with photos of adult actresses with/without makeup and I get the same vibe. https://imgur.com/gallery/vPKFZfR Both paint a unrealistic picture that you compare yourself to - may it be what you see in the mirror, the selfie camera or when looking at other people (who use makeup/filters). The main difference I can come up with, is that people using filters may isolate them even more from the non-digital world, since you can't "wear filters in person" 🤔
