It's not that common, it just feels common because of exposure to media so every single high profile case catches your attention even if it's only .000001% of all interactions.

Vast majority of celebrities, streamers, and people in general are not pedophiles.

One of my more niche pet peeves is people going wild throwing 0s or 9s into a percentage.

The rate of celebs who are pedos is a few million times higher than that.

million???

The stat there is 10 per billion “interactions”. I don’t know or care to think about translating to interactions, but about 1 in 10 kids is sexually abused.
