Are people realizing that? It seems like celebrity and sports star and influencer worship is worse than ever.

There is a big protest that originated on Tiktok called block party, where everyone blocks all the celebrities. Kim n them already lost millions of followers on Instagram, Tiktok, etc.
I see, thanks.
Taylor Swift's Eras tour causes a bump in GDP of the areas it goes to. OP's statement is crap.
I think it's meant to be since like 3 days ago.
Marie Antoinette probably never said that.
I reckon it didn't stop the masses from lopping her head off.
Maybe because she didn't give them cake
But, what if one does not like cake? Could I perhaps exchange my cake for, say, some shortbread biscuits?
I wish they'd realize faster.
Wasn't ever following them
Still blocked tho
Im glad i never got into influencers; its weird hearing about people who care about them
I honestly think some people only become famous overnight so that someone can move large amounts of money from one hand to another through the use of someone else’s name.
Pretty sure that's how modern art works.
Really? I figured the scam behind that one was some kind of trafficking with pieces of art being used as cover for the sales involved with it.
Jokes on you, you can't unfollow me on Lemmy because followers aren't a thing here.
Also, esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie is always necessary.
Dat buttn
I'm following several people. I didn't know if they're considered celebrities by anyone else, but have touched my life from afar, so they are celebrities, to me.
That's a nice thing to say.
Their kindness, thoughtful comments and humor makes the world a much nicer place.
Taking down PR firms wouldn't be a bad move, though.
Imagine how funny it would be if these celebrity/influencer weirdos would lose all their followers over night and they would just scream their bullshit into the void with no one to hear it. One can still dream
But then what if some particularly clever celebrity shows up on a social media platform where you never expect them to, like that velociraptor in Jurassic Park?
blocked
Tom from MySpace follows me. Not the other way around
That makes you a celebrity. I will now unfollow your lemmy account
I'm not rich.
Not yet...
Lemmy users named Rich: 😟
Guck that guy. Not following him.
It's a job they do...nothing more. Can't wait for this to also happen with sports.
How would this happen to sports? Do athletes make money from people's engagement?
Uh, yeah… check out multimillion dollar product endorsement deals. Caitlin Clark is being paid to endorse Xfinity, Buick, multiple insurance companies and a few things actually related to sports.
Yes..as do celebrities. It's the idolizing that's weird
... yes? Do you think those players would make as much as they do if no one was paying to see them play or watching their (ad-filled) broadcasts?
Or their ad filled social media threads
Or their branded apparel and accessories.
