I find this video very interesting because it explain how authentic parasocial relationships can feel. These relationships can seem just as emotionally real as actual friendship by providing a sense of connection through posts, stories, and livestreams, even though we don't truly know the people online. For example, when someone leaves a comment for an influencer, and the influencer replies, it can give the person a false expectation that they've established a real friendship. In reality, this emotional connection is one- sided. I think it is very important to understand influencer culture. Platforms often encourage this dynamic to keep people engaged, making these interactions less about genuine connection and more about marketing. I think it is important for people to stay rational and aware when using social media, so they can enjoy the content without confusing the parasocial relationships.

I think this is very common these days. Influencers often like to share their daily routines or emotions through posts, stories or livestreams. Fans might feel that they have a strong emotional connection with the influencer because they know them very well, even though the relationship is entirely one-sided. People might even leave comments asking influencers to post more videos. I think Parasocial relationship can feel authentic in some ways, because watching influencer's video can be relaxing and joyful. However, they can also become dangerous if people become too obsessed and develop false or unrealistic expectations about the relationship.
