    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.

      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.

    It’s a job they do…nothing more. Can’t wait for this to also happen with sports.

        … 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?

        Yes…as do celebrities. It’s the idolizing that’s weird

        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.

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

      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.

      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.

    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?

    But, what if one does not like cake? Could I perhaps exchange my cake for, say, some shortbread biscuits?
