Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I think this is legitimately the first time that I've seen someone speak about parasocial relationships not only positively, but also suggesting that, hey, we should remove the human element even more from it because it's not creepy enough as it is.
I imagine the joy is similar to an addict learning they can cook their fix at home.
I think it also makes sense to keep in mind that these bayfuckers are extremely brained by the knowledge of how big tiktok etc are presently - platforms that operate as amplifying distributors and enlarge the likelihood of parasocial relationships, as well as that allows someone like themselves to be the bridge troll they wish to be[0]
that they want to encourage it is also not too surprising, because they do not give a shit about the health of their marks
[0] - because again, rent extraction is the only business model they understand
From para-social to faux-social!
