.. or an attempt to bolster the flames of a dying media spectacle that keeps your name up at the top of the news feeds.
I hope I'm right, I hate the idea of a guy being driven to suicide; even more than I hate the idea of him social engineering media outlets en masse to self-promote.

As cringey as this whole episode has been, I genuinely hope this guy is alright and doesn't do something dumb.
