Getting on TV at the Tour - No Spoilers

Whilst watching the tour, what is the obsession some people seem to have with being seen on TV? It sometimes seems more people are watching the camera's than the race.
|Fans will have been up a mountain half the day then the first riders arrive and you see people on their phones waiving manically at the camera as the riders go past. They don't even seem to look at them. Its the same with the helichopper, you will see fans with their back to the race waiving away.
What's so great about being seen on the tv? I appreciate looking out for yourself out of interest afterwards but why the hell waste a day, and opportunity to watch the worlds best cyclists by waiving like a goon at a tv camera?

i would be but my rims have cracked from my massive power. i may even get some mismatched colour wheels. :roll:
Not particually but the poinbt is I wouldn't wave whilse ignoring the riders I had gone to see. Very strange phenomenon.
Well you are clearly a fool. Who puts out that much power? You can't look cool if you are trying that hard.
If you ride past me on a climb with your mismatched rims I will be having a good laugh at your expense I can assure you of that (whilst at the time still looking remarkably cool).
