Do you feel social media has killed the “celebrity” mystique? We used to see celebs only on red carpets and through the TV. Now you can watch them cook dinner etc and say hi to them anytime on social media. Thoughts?

I disagree. Not like any of them reply, or, if they do, they don't reply with any real meaning

Social media killed celebrity mystique when YouTube, TikTok and Instagram personalities are labeled celebrities without any talent except for having large followings

The meaning of the word celebrity has changed in my opinion . Celebrity brings up thoughts of talent, star quality , perhaps beauty . Nowadays, celebrity is just a public figure that people know , maybe be for good or bad .

if anything it's a good thing.
they aren't some special breed of superior people.
I personally dislike people who are trying to get famous,more often than not they lack the skills and personality.— lebell79 (@lebell79) May 8, 2023
Maybe if celebs bumped into me on the street all the time and I partied with tons cuz I knew them as best friends I would not feel beed to talk to them online. But since this rarely happens I hope yall never stop using social media.

It’s nice that your favorite may respond just like in real life if you saw them randomly but I don’t feel it’s killed the mystique although for some, it’s shown their dark sides
