one reason we don't have as much great music/art/cinema these days is that being a celebrity totally sucks ass. incentives dwindling toward zero.

celebrity was ruined with the rise of reality tv -> influencer culture

cut it all down and start new

that’s precisely it, when you could point at a celebrity and a majority of people could recognize the talent said celebrity was celebrated for, it was all transparent, and true, and made sense

when someone like honeybooboo is being forced onto everyone as a celebrity, it starts to break the logic and rot the culture, and we’re just living in madness now where words mean nothing anymore

reality tv definitely played a part. back in the day Zsa Zsa Gabor was lampooned as being famous for being famous, ie having no talent other than presentation and association with celebrity. then it became the norm.
