Why is debunking people faking stuff indicative of a pathological obsession with fame and status? Seems more like the fakers in the first place would be guilty

Why is debunking people faking stuff indicative of a pathological obsession with fame and status? Seems more like the fakers in the first place would be guilty of obsessing over fame and status.
- hackinthebochs 8y agoThe effort to debunk rates poorly on effort vs reward, outside of an unhealthy value placed on attention/status. But making fake content for attention can have a reasonable expected payoff.
- callalex 8y agoNot everyone measures the value of their time spent by expected dollar returns.
- speedplane 8y agoIt's okay to value your time by expected returns, as long as you consider any additional harm you cause to others. If you make $100 and others you interact with also make $5 from your efforts, that's okay. If you make $100 and others you interact with lose $200, then that's probably bad.
- hackinthebochs 8y agoWho said anything about dollar returns? Effor vs reward is just a general way to describe an action with some cost and with some benefit.
