You're basically saying you're only paying attention because someone else is paying attention. The logic you are using is pretty much incongruous and shows you wouldn't give a damn about something like this had it not been for someone else.
"I only care about it to be a contrarian." is a dangerously shitpost/trollish thing to admit.
