The best aspect of gravure is the thrill of discovery. You spend hours every day pouring over releases, magazines, and social media tags, seeing who's who. You follow cute girl after cute girl, hoping to support them and learn more about them. And eventually you start seeing one pop up more and more, she's grinding out photoshoots and more photographers are posting her... She's all over your radar but still a nobody, an amateur model repped by some shit tier agency.
But the more and more you see her, the more you realize she's going to be the next big thing, it's just a matter of time for a major publisher to give her the shot. Suddenly you realize you were ahead of the curve, that you knew her when she had under 5000 followers.
You discovered her and your support pushed her to the top. That's the pinnacle of gradol fandom.
