It's only an extension of big brother from the late 90s, to not say real world from MTV in the early 90s.

At the end of the days, everyone wants and hopes to be an idol or famous.

...but also at no point in known history has it ever happened to find millions of people doing so in very mean and aggressive way, and worldwide scene to exploit.

agreed it IS a Big Brother of a sorts, where everyone participates to certain degree. but then written forums have been a thing before BigBrother and perhaps don't have this voyeurism added in the equation.
