      it was genuinely so fucking boring that people were more than happy to give any visiting traveller free food and housing so long as they told some stories and news, you could straight up live your life as a travelling storyteller because everyone was so dreadfully desperate for some entertainment.

        I mean that is still the case now with celebrities, just the “give them stuff” now is outsourced.
