The episode opens with Kache seemingly trying to convince herself that she’s not like the others — that she’s merely ordinary, plain, boring, and thus utterly insignificant before the massive star powers of those like KAngel or Karamazov (though judging by their sub counts, I still don’t think they’re anywhere near the same level). But there’s a moment in this monologue that I find particularly interesting. I dunno what you call them (if they even have an official name), but there are these massive displays made up of smaller, tinier screens. Kache comes across one of them lying on the ground and picks it up. Neither the smaller screen or the bigger one are active. But when she puts the one in her hands back into its rightful place, the whole thing comes to life. Before you know it, KAngel looms over everyone. The internet superstar has her hands clasped together and her eyes closed as if she’s praying. This facade makes me think of the Virgin Mary or religious saints. And again, this display was defunct until Kache completed the “puzzle.” This “monument” to KAngel literally didn’t exist until she had every single “pixel.” It’s like how idols would be nothing without their fans. What even is a goddess without her worshippers? So Kache can lambast her position as a lowly “normie” all she wants, but it’s a reciprocal relationship. Sure, there are way more people like her than there are massive internet superstars, but the fans clearly matter. If they didn’t, content creators wouldn’t need to ego surf. If they didn’t, content creators wouldn’t desperately look for validation. And likewise, if fans were merely insignificant grains of sand, then why would their criticism — even anonymous ones — hurt so much?
