    Influence isn’t always going to produce results. Musk and Bezos ruin lives. Gwenneth Paltrow gets well off people to waste a few hundred dollars over and over.

    If you have any real examples I’d love to hear them

      You literally don’t even know what you’re arguing about.

      If you are trying to convince me that celebrities have zero influence in the world then you are wearing clown shoes.

        I said influence isn’t directly ruining lives

        Give me an example instead of being an insufferable ass

          Cool so now we are going to argue about degrees of influence? You’re the insufferable one because you’re all about arguing about stupid shit instead of just accepting that you’re wrong.

          Instead you’re going to double down and defend celebrities. It’s OK that celebrities do garbage things because there is a billionaire around the corner who is worse. What an ignorant position to take.

          I guess big corporations are wrong about using celebrities as frontmen for their shit business since according to you they have zero influence.

          👍

            I’m just saying, it’s such an impact, according to you, please give me the very easy to find examples you have off the top of your head

            Defending celebrities? What, did an actor steal your mom away from your dad or something? I don’t know any or give a shit about anyone in Hollywood bud, keep your vivid imagination going if that makes you feel better.

            The real point is they’re not worth the effort if we’re going to address real issues. You really think commercials are what are ruining so many people’s lives? Really, you’re that dense?

            Why are you fighting so hard to not give an example?

              You want examples of celebrities who have a fan base? What for?

              To be honest I don’t even know what point you’re attempting to make.

              You responded to my original comment about how I think that it’s unhealthy for people to have an obsession with celebrities and for whatever reason you decided to focus on the wrong part.

              Are you trying to say that billionaires are worse? I am not disagreeing. All I am saying is that people need to stop giving a fuck what celebrities are doing and what they think. People need to focus more on individualism instead of some moron fad a celebrity is into.

                    You said being a fan of celebrities is dangerous to society. You said it was due to their influence. Really just trying to give you the benefit of the doubt that you had a point. Since you’re so insistent refusing to come up with anything, I guess not
