it's a social media thing
it'a basically a dopamine hit to anticipate, then climax, then move on to the next thing.

and people don't have enough context for the events, also a social media thing, it's an unsealed deposition from a long settled civil lawsuit. it reflects the sworn testimony of a minor victim's recollections, and other evidence presented during the litigation process. it's not a secret black book they just found.
