    And so is following celebrities in general, which does not change the fact most of them are a gigantic net loss for humanity, in terms of resources and ethics.

    Again, I might not be reading the post right, but what I’m getting here is the distinction between personal hobbies and organized, cult-like events involving countless unethical acts (either directly or indirectly) and vast amounts of ‘wasted’ resources (not wasted if it’s worth it for you).

      and what if to some people following some celebrities is what they enjoy and their own personal escape? Who are you to define what constitutes a good way for people to spend their off time?

        I cannot define that, nor am I trying to do so. I’m just highlighting the contrast and sharing my take. As I said, the resources spent on huge events are not necessarily wasted. It depends on the personal perspective and values of a person.

        This is nothing more than a discussion topic. Nobody’s trying to criminalize anything. Or at least I’m not and I can’t see anyone else doing thay.
