This is something I truly don't understand.

Why do people want to only root for winners, worship, put on a pedestal, defend, focus on others? Doesn't it ever blow your mind that the majority focus so much of their time on winners in life? Whenever I look at a winner, I don't do any of that stuff above. I only look at them to reverse engineer how they did it and spend all my energy to make myself a winner. I mean you only have one life, why focus on others? This is why I was never interested in sports, celebrities, or became a follower of an influencer.

I know how influence is created, but don't understand the appeal of it.

Examples of the extreme:
1) Followers purchasing tons of merch from the Youtube star that they love.
2) Sports fans fighting over their favorite team.
3) Celebrity stalkers.
4) The followers of an influencer attacking the comment section of another influencer.
5) Defending whatever that high influence individual says, even it is blatantly wrong based on the facts.

I don't care if someone is a highly influential person, I view them on the same level as myself. No pedestal for yah. No elistism.

Thoughts?
