TL;DR = Don't fanboy..

But you're right, people are still people. And when we try waste what we have in things like trying to put our efforts to get "that guy/gal" to notice us, or waste our free will to have all our decision makings delegated to that famous guy/gal, its unproductive and regressive.

Hope I can catch myself fanboying in the next steemfest and stop myself before gawking too much at people who are technically strangers.
