It's not that they're stupid, it's that they're good at reading their audience & staying a half-step ahead of most of them. They're so popular because they're extremely good at telling their audience what they want to hear, while making it sound like they came to it upon their own just like the audience.

They're the very definition of attention whores.

Very interesting thought! Maybe they're sensing their audiences start to turn and they're getting ahead so they can say, "See how smart I am! Figured it out first!"
