Parasocial Relationships. We all have them here on the internet. We don't know one another yet we enjoy the content strangers create. We are connected on this world wide web in an indirect way. I don't know you and you don't know me but that's the parasocial relationship we all have. So, in this video essay, I talk about my take on parasocial relationships. This includes the good, bad, and even the neutral. So join me in this episode of Watersurf's Side Tangent, stranger!
