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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That's a nice thing to say.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Their kindness, thoughtful comments and humor makes the world a much nicer place.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (3 children)

How would this happen to sports? Do athletes make money from people's engagement?

[–] [email protected] 32 points 6 months ago (1 children)

... 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?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Or their ad filled social media threads

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Or their branded apparel and accessories.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Yes..as do celebrities. It's the idolizing that's weird

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 6 months ago

I wish they'd realize faster.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Tom from MySpace follows me. Not the other way around

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That makes you a celebrity. I will now unfollow your lemmy account

Lemmy users named Rich: 😟

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Guck that guy. Not following him.

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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?

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Taylor Swift's Eras tour causes a bump in GDP of the areas it goes to. OP's statement is crap.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

I think it's meant to be since like 3 days ago.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

I see, thanks.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Wasn't ever following them

Still blocked tho

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Im glad i never got into influencers; its weird hearing about people who care about them

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Marie Antoinette probably never said that.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I reckon it didn't stop the masses from lopping her head off.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Maybe because she didn't give them cake

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Pretty sure that's how modern art works.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 6 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Taking down PR firms wouldn't be a bad move, though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

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