Now we just don't know anymore. We wrote about Essena O'Neill's trending video in which the Australian social media starlet vowed to quit social media like Instagram because it was all about faking it for likes, views and clicks. Back then she vowed to only use her remaining YouTube channel to talk about 'real' issues. Since then she has apparently also deleted her YouTube channel.

Now two of her (presumably former after this) friends Nina and Randa Nelson have posted another video in which they claim the first video was just a hoax to get more attention. The Daily Mail has more on the story. In any case, this second video seems to be getting a lot of social media attention as well, judging by these charts produced by Lead Stories' Trendolizer™:
