We should accept that Daniel really is a celebrity
Daniel thinking he is a celebrity appears to be the least of his delusions. In a span of a couple of days we have:
-Cops in the body cam footage discussing his folloing and being astonished when being told he has "millions of followers"
-Courtroom online footage has to be cut off due to the large influx of random people joining
-Dozens of 911 calls by multiple people about Daniel to the point that the PD knows him
Even without trying to monetize his status, he has more than a handful of fans giving him money or paying for a photograph with him. A couple of days ago there even was someone, who wanted to put up his house to pay for Daniel's bail.
Most of us do not have such a large support network and probably never will.
If Daniel really wanted to, he could outearn us all. We should be realistic about that.
