The reality celebrity
A person famous for being filmed, with no skill, no work and no release schedule - and an audience that formed anyway.
The purest parasocial figure ever mainstreamed: fame with no product, only proximity. It also removed the last barrier - you no longer need to be good at anything, you only need to be watched.
