Yeah, obscure interests are hardly a thing of the past. If anything it’s only gotten stronger, people of all ages can now be sucked so far down the fandom rabbithole that they lose sight of it being their obscure interest.

You don’t have to fake a customer service smile to be friendly.
Edit: and you weren’t just saying “being nice to people is a good thing” though, were you? Maybe read your own comment and the replies instead of making up a strawman.
