If this is the principle we should abolish the Forbes rich list to secure the mental health of teen boys and young adults.

The 0.00001%ers are out there, in any realm of life. The genie is out of the bottle and it's not about social media, people are curious about extremely rare things, so they'd be digging them out on blogs and vlogs if social media didn't exist.

The answer to make people feel better isn't to censor the 0.00001%ers but to show them that they are monodimensional individuals who excel at that particular thing and are world class bad at others

Actually, on Instagram, they're not. It's Photoshop.

Also, we should abolish the Forbes rich list, but in a different way and for a different reason. There's a limited amount of resources on the planet, so it shouldn't be allowed for some to have billions while others starve. But that's off-topic here.
