I don't understand how Americans on both the left and the right having such strong para-social relationships with their Media Celebs.

One would think from all the reactions, Tucker Carlson or Jimmy Kimmel are busy building hospitals, colleges and orphanages across the land.

The point is government overreach, not that the victims are saints.

They are Attention capture specialists. Nothing else. Even Trump got kicked off social media. No one cried. It was the right decision.

In an Attention Economy where Attention is finite pool, like Land or Oil just allowing random people to suck everyone's Attention makes no sense. Especially when everyone is allowed to Broadcast simultaneously. Monetize their audience. Weaponize content. No reform to any of it.

All this system props up is Attention exploitation. That's how Trump emerges. And everyone is acting as if the emergence of Trump is not a flaw but a feature of this Attention exploitation system.
