Is anything real anymore!?
We know most things on Instagram have been Photoshopped, filtered and edited to within an inch of their lives but now even the sky isn't good enough for the 'gram. A travel influencer has gone viral after people noticed that she had been editing the same cloud into every single one of her pics.

Tupi Saravia, who has almost 300,000 followers, has travelled all over the world and taken glamorous photos in countless picturesque locations. But, for some reason, the sky looks exactly the same no matter where she is. Truly remarkable.
Just take a look at her pics.
Fans started to notice and exposed Tupi on Twitter.

To be serious for a sec, isn't this kinda strange behaviour? It goes to prove that the digital world and the real world really are night and day. I'm becoming more and more cynical (getting old!!) towards online 'influencers' - I think it's a bubble, that will eventually go pop

I just went to fact check this myself and sure as shit.... now her profile is private. What a bizarre thing to do, and how bizarre to think people wouldn't notice. pic.twitter.com/fAy7MCb8tj

To be fair, Tupi has always been honest about filtering her images. She explained on Instagram that she uses a free photo-editing app called Quickshot to edit the sky when it is "burnt or overexposed".
Quickshot has a feature called Sky Control, which can place the perfect clouds into any photo. Although there's options for different clouds, Tupi chooses the same one every time.
"They were always aware about this because I never hide it," she told Buzzfeed. "I always tell [them] the apps I use. Actually I'm the first one to tell the joke [that] the clouds are following me around the world."
She added: "I really don't see the big deal [here], I never lied about it," she said. "I haven’t done anything wrong, and it was never my intention."
