2016-present: the more cartoonish the person, the greater their likelihood of success. Believe this has to do with social media adoption which enables cartoonish people to develop big followings.

I think bc social media awards “engagement” the extremes get amplified and takes up the Pareto rule of eyeballs. Middle of the road is bland, so even if you think the person is a clown you can’t stop watching the shit show.

Yeah, just wanted to throw in my 2 cents. To your point, I also think SM facilitates projection, which minimize the penalties for going to the extremes. Ppl will cherry pick the stuff they agree w/ you and excuse/deflect the stuff they don’t. Being shameless is a win/win today.

Maybe on SM that’s true, but off it there are consequences for that behavior. Since many people want to be “famous” and few people are, it’s probably harder than it looks.
