>>6931511Unfortunately it's not to do with being American, and this sort of behaviour is happening globally. If you paid attention you would know that.
The same reason that makes the average person vote for the people they always vote for, but the brand they always buy, open their phone and use the default apps and nothing else. They don't think, they don't know how to. They exist, they assess that certain behaviours and choices will allow them to join a herd, they assess that wearing a certain logo will label them as what they perceive cool to be.
Now, down on the niches category, you have a stigmatised redneck soap opera called professional wrestling, none of the masses will touch it without being coaxed into it. The people who do see it and think it will help them join a community or look cool are literally retarded. They are the people having consolewars.
