I couldn’t give any less of a thought about these clowns, but the true sadness to me is that there is a population of people who feel the need to invest their time and energy into speculation about this dumb shit back and forth on social media for the next month

Its the evolution of relativity TV in some aspects, right?
A whole lot more interactive and what not.
Makes perfect sense in modern society.
You never ever cared about these people... but for those so invested in their streams... this is world shattering stuff going on.
Its not any more sad than them being so invested in these people to begin with.

That is an apt comparison. Reality TV gave you glimpses into "real" people's lives (mostly scripted, but w/e). Streaming basically pushes that concept even further...you still get those glimpses, but you also get to interact with them in real time

That + the 15 minutes of fame factor. You get to be part of the drama when your retarded ass donates $100 to say some dumb shit on stream.

Still an illusion though. Its very much a one way relationship... but somehow a lot of people enjoy feeling that much closer to those they are following.
The watchers get a sense of a relationship with the ones they are watching. The ones being watched only see this mass of people that follow them, its anything but personal.

This is 100% it, its feeling like you were there and mattered, like you belong to something greater than you...
Only human, we have been doing it since the beginning of time, we just found all these weird ways to go about it.

The only thing technology is changing is our ability to "fit in" somewhere by removing the social obstacles/consequences. I can walk into that virtual discussion and run my mouth without being punched in the face, and if I get blocked I can create a "new me" and come right back with that account. I don't have to conform with my appearance either... I look exactly like I say I look as far as anyone else is concerned. I'm also reminded of Fight Club where he's going to cancer meetings and telling bullshit stories so people give him positive attention. Well, the virtual world makes that infinitely easier.

Instead of conforming with appearance you have to conform with thought. FoH, the chans and a few other places are some of the last bastions of free thought where you're free to say things that aren't hive mind approved.

They're just approved by different hive minds. Or have you never gone into the Divorced Dad Boomer Cum Swapping Arena that is the politics section.

I mean sure, but the places I mentioned won't ban you for thinking differently. FoH has had some of the dumbest/most annoying posters throughout its history that haven't been banned just for speaking. Other places will ban you asap and the hive will feel righteous about it.
