They end up being hilarious and dramarific because PNMs are dumb, moms are helicopter parents, and no one's special snowflake is that interesting. Nor are GCers actually "helping" when they're flat out wrong about campuses they've never attended but are internet experts on exactly how dress A will look on PNM B.

And retro ones are just boring and rarely get finished. Really what's the point in a blow by blow except as mental masturbation, or a circle jerk by the other GCers - to use a metaphor.
The point is that not everyone shares your opinion. Nor does everyone else think having interest in the stories of others equates to a "circle jerk".

If they want to post about something they're super excited about, more power to them. If they hurt their own chances in the process, that's on them. If they take only advice from anonymous internet posters instead of also asking their recruitment counselors or Greek life office, that's on them.
