A good idea, but I will be so boorish as to note that the inspired writers, in their photographs, are all taking some effort to be pretty in ways that their idols almost uniformly are not. Perhaps because the inspired youthish are choosing their own photos, or taking what their publishers chose for the back jacket flaps. Or perhaps BuzzFeed was mostly seeking, or the Tumblr assembler was, pretty writers.
It doesn't sum what's wrong at the moment, but it does hint at a small part of it.

Publicity photos have definitely changed.
