WHO'S TO BLAME: AWD - Attention Whore Disorder

Issue:  Attention Whore Disorder is rampant.  Who's to Blame?

Should we blame the most recent attention whore Jasmine Tridevil directly?  She does want attention afterall.  Or is it deeper?  Tridevil is not the only attention whore, I mean a picture of Ann Coulter pops in my head when I say attention whore.  Also Sarah Palin. All reality show celebrities. 

Do we Blame media for running stories like these?  It's so in our face.  I couldn't avoid seeing Tridevil's story in my feed. 

Are consumers to Blame?  We are the one's who eat it up.

What about social media, where everybody is a star if they can get enough likes?

Is it an illness?
