A YouTuber's fancy Bali vacation sure looked nice. Nope, the photos were taken in an Ikea
CNN
You shouldn't believe everything you see on the internet. A popular YouTuber proved that, once again, to be true.
Natalia Taylor posted a series of photos on her Instagram that made it seem like she had traveled to a far-off exotic destination. There she was lounging in a fancy bathtub. In another, she posed in front of a floral print mirror.
exotic
exotic /ɪɡˈzɒtɪk/ 表示“来自异国（尤指热带国家）的；奇异的；异国情调的；异国风味的”，英文解释为“from or in another country, especially a tropical one; seeming exciting and unusual because it is connected with foreign countries”举个🌰：
She travels to all kinds of exotic locations all over the world.

floral

"The queen has arrived," she wrote in the caption. Her location: Bali, Indonesia.

The local paper featured me standing on a stepladder with a caption, "He climbs the ladder to success."

But in a video she later posted to YouTube, she revealed the photos were staged in an Ikea.

The Instagram photos were all fictitious. And that, Taylor said, was the point.

The first set of photos featured a flower print mirror -- it sure looked like a fancy hotel room. The baby blue wall phone only helped set the scene. The next shots showed Taylor posed on a sun lounger and in a bathtub, dressed in a white robe with a towel wrapped around her head.

At the same time, she also posted videos of Bali to her Instagram story. Some were sent from friends who had visited. Others she found online.
Her fans, of which there are more than 300,000, lapped it up.

表示“未按计划进行的”，英文解释为“If something goes awry, it does not happen in the way it was planned.”举个🌰：

But she wasn't trying to hoodwink them and cash in. She wanted to make a point.
hoodwink
hoodwink /ˈhʊdˌwɪŋk/表示“欺诈；哄骗”，英文解释为“If someone hoodwinks you, they trick or deceive you.”举个🌰：
People expect others to be honest, which is why conmen find it so easy to hoodwink people.

cash in (on sth)

The film studio is being accused of cashing in on the singer's death.
那家电影制片厂受到指责，说他们利用这位歌手的死来赚钱。
"Today it is easier than ever to become anyone you want. That's wonderful! But with great power comes great responsibility," she told CNN. "As we all know, not everyone is transparent online."
"We could all use a fun reminder to take social media less seriously," she added. "And don't believe everything you see online."
So be warned -- that influencer jealously watching travel the world might not be telling you every piece of the story. There's a chance they never even left home at all.
