It's an adaptation from back when ostracism from a village was a literal death sentence. And evolved into more-recent conditions. They see almost everything as transactional. Being authentic is scary to them because it means they might lose out on an opportunity to suck a psychopath's dick for a leg up in life or might piss off some BPD retard who then proceeds to stop doing favors for them.
This is really why actually doing what you want bothers them, because they think you're a retard who is going to piss off someone with both a fragile ego and power, and they don't want to be associated with you in case of collateral damage. They may see you as entertaining from afar but they get scared.
However, normies are struggling to grapple with the fact that local social structures now compete with online ones, alongside tech advances. So things that were "respectable" in the past now get you very little in terms of status. They're still important and can make good money, but the social validation has been removed. And there is now the ability to gain a support network which respects things that used to be looked down on, via the internet.
This has created a simmering resentment in your average person who is primarily motivated via social validation, as they mistakenly assume it's a path to resources and stability. But its also gotten to the point where the people who can manipulate normies have gotten very good at it. So they are very careful to just string such people along individually, or exploit this en masse for profit. Garbage food, pill pushing, and it's part of the explosion in what items are seen as luxury/limited edition/insufficiently-produced veblen goods, which has in turn created a big market for scalping.
Total Normie Death. The winning move is to not play their games.
