What I love about social media is that you can’t fake it.
For all the hundreds of millions of dollars companies like Volkswagen

If you were poised to be the biggest
car company in the world raking in annual profits of £5bn, you think you'd
feel pretty confident about yourself.
Even if you felt a little insecure, a cool £1.5bn advertising budget
could iron out some of the less-than-savoury aspects of your appearance.
Besides, £1.5bn buys a lot of botox.
