Smiling for the camera is a modern invention from Kodak. ...Also, many people's default expression is neutral/"sour"
-
Totally agree. "Say cheese" smiles aren't real, are they? Naturalistic photos are always better. Neutral does not mean sad

Eh. Not all faces have “happy” appearances at rest, but that’s not necessarily indicative of the person’s emotional state.
-
I think that's the point. If you don't have a "happy" resting-face, why put one on for status update?
-
Smiling for a camera doesn't (necessarily) mean you're faking how you're feeling, which is how I read the tweet.
-
That's how I read it to. I guess that's the point we disagree on then :)
