Remember people getting upset about the unrealistic beauty standards created by models and movie stars? It was an unavoidable consequence of MASS media. Currently, this effect has evolved, and YouTube will be eventually seen as creating unrealistic PERSONALITY standards.
The theory is, as soon as you move beyond a certain threshold, say 150 people, the identifiable talent will exceed what our human ancestors could witness in an entire lifetime. It really doesn't matter if it is beauty or singing, intelligence or athleticism.
Furthermore, up until the last couple of decades, it was thought "talent" was pretty much in the eye of the beholder. But psychology has found this is a lot less true than previously thought.
I see no reason why "talent" would not extend to personality traits, and you could probably come up with a handful of universally revered personality attributes. Thankfully there does seem to be some variation of distinct but equally esteemed "packages" of traits.
