I will never understand why people follow "celebrities" on social media. Isn't life already forcefully inundated with these overly self-important assholes as is? This is the same to me as people who go on YouTube to watch commercials; I just cannot fathom the appeal

Depends on the celebrity. Neil Gaiman is actually pretty chill online. Takei too, but the amount of articles he posts started to annoy me, so I dumped him. I don't really know what people see in Zuck, though.

Pretty sure Neil Gaiman is chill offline, too.

I mean, how else do you propose to organize the sea of information that the internet is constantly swamped in? Individual personalities work as a pretty consistently navigable waypoint and information gatekeeper, a pretty decent filtration mechanism. Most other methods are somewhat vulnerable to corruption over time, or are less consistent, or demand higher maintenance for different tradeoffs.

On Twitter, I can see it. I always thought Twitter was a great place to do things like "Performing LIVE at the astro dome 2/31/2024! Tickets on sale now!" I could see following your favorite bands or comedians or whatever.
