      Bingo. No one wants to read articles about how a celebrity is decent person. You are going to hear about the feuding broken divorce more than the loving decades long marriage. Or you hear about an off day where someone got mad at someone who didn’t deserve it. We all have off days, but celebries have public off days.

    Hey guys did you know I’m a good person? I used to like $Celebrity, but then I found out they did $problematic, so now I don’t like them. This cost me nothing, and no one would know but I feel the need to tell you. Aren’t I a good person?

      Do, do you not talk to, ya know, people? Most people aren’t writing or talking about their dissertation all the time. Some like to talk about things they, ya know, like.

        Parasocial relationships are strong indicators of banal people that should be avoided.
