The Downfall of Celebrity Culture

Why we can't stop watching things we HATE    • Is Hate-Watching Actually Good For Us?  
I don't know about you, but I'm burned out on celebrity culture. When the Me Too Movement lifted the curtain on the pervasive abuse of women in Hollywood, entertainment stopped feeling as fun - and rightfully so. When celebrities like Gal Gadot sang an off-key version of Imagine, that feeling of burnout only compounded, and it began what will be the downfall of celebrity culture as we know it.

The horrifying crimes committed by celebrities like Diddy, Jeffrey Epstein, R Kelly, Danny Masterson, Brian Peck, Chris Brown, and Donald Trump have shed light on the systemic protection that fame provides and the scores of people who kept quiet to protect their investments. The growing wealth disparity and oversaturation of influencers have contributed to growing resentment and the dilution of fame. So where do we go from here? And what will celebrity culture look like in a world where it's becoming harder to separate the artist from the art?
