Fanclubs and Gossip mags often don't have a direct connection or ability to interact with the person they support/talk about (paparazzi reporting comes to mind), and often are merely based around the "idealized version" of the person or group (aka that which they believe the person to be) and in the case of Fanclubs support them, and with Gossip mags, take them down a notch.
I am by no means against content creators having this ease of ability to interact, in a lot of cases it's a good thing. In some cases though... it really isn't.
Do you need me to link to social media accounts of actual celebrities before you address the point that there's no difference between YouTube creators and any other public figure as everyone can just go create a social media account?
Well most comments i saw on this post is '' I don't care that he is a cheating pedophile as long as he makes good content''. You should all be very proud of yourselves
Oh c'mon this is really uncalled for. The OP doesn't mention anything about the child pornography thing, that information is scattered throughout the thread, do you really expect everyone to have read every single post?
