Another lifelong Tiranic dork here. It’s a combination of the dramatic/poignant stories and the Edwardian technology/decor. I also realized following it for so many decades taught me a lot about scientific inquiry and historiography.
There are just so many stories. Accounts from passengers, and the people who built it. The craftsmanship and attention to detail, the way it changed the world at the time…
There’s just so many interesting angles. I also like the “old timey-ness” of it
It was one of the first big disasters that made international headlines and that spawned a bunch of media inspired by it. The Titanic movie we all know was like the 6th one made, on top of books, comics, you name it. As such it takes up a lot of space in Anglo cultural memory.
Make Titanic Great Again 
why are people who are into the titanic so fuckin weird
Not surprising from people who romanticize a perfectly preventable disaster as some sort of unforeseen tragedy
“Only I know the secret to perfectly cutting corners in business.”
I have been into the Titanic my whole life. I was going to have a point here, but I just realized most of you would meet me and be like “wtf?”
What about the Titanic is it that intrigues you so?
