Celebrities in Social Media

Do you follow any famous people on social media? If so, please weigh into this discussion. I was thinking about the appeal of celebrities in social media today. Maybe you enjoy the type of content they create or the lifestyle they live. I presume that some people tune in to some profiles as a form of “reality” TV of sorts. How many people actually like people like Kim Kardashian for example. How many others are following just to see what happens? Of course, this isn’t the case of every famous profile.

Entertainment has its place on platforms for sure, but what about other types of content? Elon Musk uses his twitter for mostly business promotions and project updates. I could see a great many people monitoring a company instead of seeing what Kylie Jenner had for breakfast on Snapchat. It makes sense to follow a page to keep informed on new ventures or investment opportunities.

Personally, I only follow a hand full of celebrity accounts. Casey Niestat is a fantastic creator, film producer, and life coach. He continues to release quality entertainment in addition to advocating real change. Another example is Philip Defranco, who covers top news stories in a more casual way. That’s generally how I stay informed.


What are some of the accounts you follow? How much of the media you consume is entertainment or news? I enjoy a good mix of losing my faith in humanity and then silly dog videos to balance out the negativity. If you do follow Kylie Jenner or Kim Kardashian, no shade intended.
