I’m Mr. Beat
Some of you know me very well, yet you’ve never even met me before.
In fact, it may even feel like we’re friends. But here’s the thing, I probably don’t know you. In fact, and I feel like I have to apologize for this but…you’re likely a stranger to me.
Now, when I typically do meet viewers of my videos, it’s freaking awesome. My viewers tend to be interesting people, let me tell you. However, it’s just not possible for me to meet you all.
What I just gave an example of is a parasocial relationship.
A parasocial relationship is an imaginary friendship with a public figure.
