        Money. Family connections. They want to get into government. They want a job somewhere in the status quo such as the media.

        Take your pick.

          It's a grift. Family connections are not relevant in this case here unless he's lying in this quote:

          Pavlou’s parents have never been politically active. Both are lifelong Liberal Party voters and are far more conservative than their son, who is also a devotee of US democratic socialist Bernie Sanders. “My dad tells me to get rid of this obsession,” Pavlou says. “He’d like me to get a real job.”

            Oh, I wasn’t even referring to this situation, I was just guessing all the classic reason why someone this young publicly commits to the brainrot to such a degree.

      In Drew's case specifically it is controversial because nobody hires him, nobody interviews him, and if you open up his replies it's mostly people making fun of him.

      The only time he got some media attention was when he called a bomb threat on the Chinese embassy. He's a failson otherwise lol
