It isn’t easy for everybody. Especially the workers. And even celebrities. The economy is unfair to everyone, including those celebrities and companies. It’s very easy to criticize others on what they haven’t done right, especially when we have never been in their shoes. In the middle of this pandemic, I criticized some companies on why they don’t even pay their salaries or pay half salary. But when I imagined myself in their shoes, I saw another angle of things. They have been hit hard too. And yes, some companies and celebrities were out of the line.

I agree with you on people getting educated on starting their brands and acquiring skills. But it isn’t that easy. Many of those workers are in serious need of food. It’s not easy for a hungry person to start a business.

We are all hit by the pandemic. Some are just more hit than the other.

Yeah but the celebrities are bringing nothing to the table. When everyone had his basic needs fullfiled it was cool to watch celebrities on instagram how they live, eat and sleep. In times of crisis like we have now where people don't even can feed their family we should start thinking what justification is there for celebs? Do we really need them?

My answer is definitely no. Just look at Ellen Degeneres, who was supposed to be a that super nice person helping people in need. Now it comes out she is actually a very mean person and treats her own employees very badly.

We should stop empowering all these celebrities. The only power they have, is the one we give them.

I agree, I found it nice to see little youtubers gain national coverage because they were more "like us" and more "real", but after a while I noticed with disappointment that a lot of them became typical celebrities ...
