I would put forward that there is probably an interesting person behind most of those dog mom, office watcher profiles. Most people just aren't good at marketing themselves and mass media culture has made people scared or less capable of sharing how they are different from the herd (i.e. interesting).

You're right. Everyone is interesting once they open up a little.

The goal though isn't to show how you're different from the herd, it's to show that you're better than the herd, for whichever sub-herd you're signaling membership. That strategy preserves maximum choice.
