Sara Puhto describes herself as a "titanium-spined girlie who helps you accept ur body."
In a video posted last month, she warned viewers not to believe everything they see on social media by using AI to give herself an unnaturally snatched waist and flawless skin.
Calling the increasingly advanced editing tools available for photos and videos "unfortunate," she reminded viewers, "You are worth it as you are."
"This is so important," one fan commented in response.

Another, meanwhile, pointed out the difference between “growing up now and growing up in the 1980s and '90s.”
"If you look at the pictures of people back then, everyone looked real. Not constantly perfect. Social media has definitely increased vanity and narcissism," they wrote.
Dr. Yellen also believes that children and teenagers, who are in "critical periods of development," struggle to accept themselves "as they are," in the digital age.
Once young people develop body image issues, those beliefs may "persist into adulthood, contributing to feelings of shame, insecurity and perfectionism," she added.
