They didn’t care about success. They cared about flash and notoriety.

Which notably aren’t very often correlated with long term success, but aren’t completely divorced from it either.

The thing to realize is that the news is about notable things, and things are notable when they’re not normal/standard/boring.

In your personal life, it’s often (actually) ideal to live a life that no newspaper reporter would give a second thought about writing up.

And if not actually getting things done, in my experience the shelf life is short.

But hey, lots of different ways to get money, and as long as you can avoid a fraud charge I guess?
