>>98275Not true per se. Celebrities now are split into traditional tv/music celebs and e-celebs, and while
>>98278 is r/technicallytrue, e-celebs occupy more share of the social zeitgeist. This, as with most things wrong with the postmodern world, can be laid at the feet of big tech, as social media has become the primary mode of content consumption, the average normie no longer thinks in terms of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Harrison Ford, but in Mr. Beast and Logan Paul. Even mainstream celebrities have been recontextualized by streaming services, which make content so easily accessible that you can watch movies back to back without giving yourself any time to absorb the previous one. This frames the act of watching a movie less in terms of absorbing what you're watching and more in terms of just having a movie on at all to consume. In a similar manner to tiktok, you just move from one movie to another until your tiny normie attention span gets bored of having movies on.
Put simply, big tech killed the celebrities of yesteryear, and it seems to me that they're hellbent on completely extinguishing the rest of the culture that came before their rise to prominence.
