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

        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.
