If anything, "parasocial" things are on a steep upward trajectory. There is a larger number of smaller "celebrities" than before, though. Going from low channel count (cinema, TV, analogue radio, major publishers) to wideband (millions of YouTube channels, etc etc). It probably follows a Pareto-esque power law distribution.
- SketchySeaBeast 3y agoA while back I emailed a podcast about an issue with my account. I got a reply back from one of those hosts. It was a bizarre moment as I was starstruck to be communicating with someone I'd been listening to for years, but for them it was nothing. I'm sure they don't feel famous, they seem to live a very average life, but they felt famous to ME.
