This has been very apparent on Instagram where you see countless feed of people playing into the same trend to the point it becomes nauseating to watch them

I believe Pareto Principle is coded into the universe so 80-20 ratio will always remain, but one must strive to be in the 20% in as many areas as one can after being aware of it

Yes, both Instagram and TikTok are becoming filled with facsimiles of facsimiles; a worrying trend.

It's important not to confuse the Pareto principle (aka the 80/20 rule) with the Pareto distribution. The former is a general (but not universal) trend found in nature. The latter is a power law probability distribution that doesn't always follow the Pareto principle.
