In my opinion, the reason why Chris is so intriguing to read about, aside from people being inclined to hear about the latest juicy drama, news, and cool, unique stories, is the fact that he fails so much at life at a point where normal people cannot fathom it.
We watch this bumbling, mentally-ill man fail at the most basic things to us because of maybe his environment, his mental illness or himself. He and other people prying into his life or others who know him personally put all of this up for the internet to see - intimate details that no regular person would know unless the moron who has them brings them up. Then, we realize his life is one colossal mess-up because we see what could be the closest to the full extent of which. And yet, here he is. Here he remains. Somehow.
But why? Chris's mentality interests us, too. There's a lot more to learn about the human mind and mental disorders like autism. Does Chris have autonomy from the bad decisions of the people around him, or not? What else is causing his delusions aside from autism and being raised by internet and TV? What truly made him think like this? Is there a way to rewire his thinking, if all people are capable of change, regardless of circumstances (we'll, we don't seem to be getting lots of info now, so whoever is handling him, be it Flutter or the grifters, must be doing something right to a degree)? These questions come with this trainwreck of Chris's life story.
Looking at Chris is like being up close and personal with a personal biography in the flesh. Truths, lies, secrets, shared information, and all. Whether we want it to end or we wish it to keep going, or we just let it all go, we will be interested.
