I wish they’d realize faster.
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.
Lemmy users named Rich: 😟
Guck that guy. Not following him.
Not yet…
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?
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.
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
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.
Wasn’t ever following them
Still blocked tho
Im glad i never got into influencers; its weird hearing about people who care about them
Taking down PR firms wouldn’t be a bad move, though.
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.
But, what if one does not like cake? Could I perhaps exchange my cake for, say, some shortbread biscuits?
