I follow numerous "bettors" or Twitter and the amount of flirting and "Let's DM and chat" were hilarious. Everyone fed her ego, fed this whole "You are a girl and bet, you are an amazing person." And now those same people who propped her up are not thrashing her.

Everyone is guilty in this. You should know what you are getting into when you communicate with people on the Internet.

I'm a little confused as to who you are referring to when you say "you all." I think you're in the wrong forum. You're points are valid for most of the twitter followers.. but 90% of the people in here have questioned her from the start.

But why did everyone care so much? There's plenty of trolls, plenty of phonies out there, 99.9% of which get zero attention or time. But whether you liked her or hated her, why did everyone (positive or negative) have this obsession with her?
