At least other parasocial relationships are with people who make shit that's GOOD. I kind of get viewing like, a funny group of podcasters are make-believe bros after listening to 200 episodes. This is just one guy who thinks Cyprus is part of Greece babbling for hours. Worst fake friendship ever.
Seriously I kind of understand parasocial relationships if they're with people who are like, funny or smart or something. This just seems like the gamblers fallacy except instead of playing blackjack it's for spending time with an annoying pedo bore.

I think it's actually the inverse. The parasocial relationship comes first, and then people decide they're funny/smart.
