if we define a celebrity as a positive attention maximizer (ie, not a committed partisan) it's obvious why most of them, and most of the best ones, would be lefty

going right is a minority strategy, people who can't compete against the best players for the best attention pool switch to playing for a smaller, less desirable one

attention sponges probably follow a power law dist, so there's some cutoff after which a mediocre to decent player in the main game can switch and be one of the best in a smaller game
