Or are they just walking advertisements wrapped in Botox, Hollywood Smiles and IG Filters?
Celebrities and influencers exist for 2 reasons:
to make you feel like your life is trash so you keep buying stuff.
to make want to be like other corporation's employees, in other words a mule chasing a carrot.
Marketing and capitalism work like this:
Show you someone richer, prettier, and happier than you.
Make you believe that with the right product / job, you could almost be like them.
Sell you that product / Hire you for that mule's job.
Repeat the process until you die—or worse, become an influencer / manager yourself.
And we fall for it. Every. Single. Time.
Because deep down, we don’t want to admit the truth: We’re not part of the system. We are simply the fuel that keeps it running.
Do Celebrities Actually Make Life Better?
Let’s see:
They wear outfits worth more than your yearly salary… once.
They date each other, break up, and write songs about it—and we eat that shit up like it’s our breakup.
They make millions pretending to be other people while we struggle just to be ourselves.
And somehow, we keep believing they care about us. Every once in a while, they’ll throw us a “relatable” tweet:
“Just ate too many fries! LOL I’m such a pig 🐷” (while weighing 40 kg).
“Self-care is important! Take a break ❤️” (says the billionaire who just made millions selling you the idea that grinding is the only way to succeed).
“We’re all in this together!” (Sent from a yacht, 3,000 miles away from your broke ass.)
🔎 Further questions to ask your Mum:
If celebrities care so much, why do they charge $500 for a meet-and-greet where you’re not allowed to touch them?
Why do we take life advice from people who haven’t cooked their own meal since 2009?
If fame is so great, why do half of them end up in rehab?
Do Influencers Actually Influence Anything?
Influencers are just celebrities on a budget. They exist to make you buy shit you don’t need, with money you don’t have, to impress people you don’t give a shit about.
They travel the world, post “Rise & Grind” captions, then sell you a course on how to do the same.
They tell you anyone can be rich—right after their millionaire dad gives them $200K to start a “business.”
They preach authenticity while photoshopping their waist until they look like a poorly drawn anime character.
And the best part? Most of them aren’t even good at what they do.
There are influencers teaching business, who have never run one.
There are influencers selling fitness plans, who got their body from surgery.
There are influencers preaching happiness, who take antidepressants like Tic Tacs.
But hey, at least they’re influencing something—your ability to feel like a failure.
🔎 Further questions to ask your kids:
If being an influencer is a real job, why do they all panic every time Instagram crashes?
How do you “hustle 24/7” when your entire career is just holding up a product and smiling?
If everyone is an influencer now, who the hell is left to be influenced?
The Capitalist Dream: Work, Spend, Repeat
Here’s the cycle:
They show us the carrot—the money, the women, the freedom.
We break ourselves trying to chase it.
We never actually get it.
But hey! They’re already showing us a new carrot!
And what do we end up with?
A tiny mortgage for a tiny apartment, while they live in a house with 16 bathrooms.
A tiny car that “saves on fuel,” while they drive million-dollar Ferraris.
A tiny vacation to a place where they have mansions.
And dating? Forget about it. The hot women don’t want love, they want sponsorships.
She’s not looking for a boyfriend. She’s looking for an investor.
She’s not interested in you. She’s interested in your credit score.
She’s not “going with the flow.” She’s waiting to see if you can afford her lifestyle.
And before you say “not all women,” let me tell you something—broke guys do it too. They just don’t have the leverage.
🔎 Further questions to ask your half ass:
Why do we work so hard to afford life, when life itself was supposed to be free?
If hard work really leads to success, why are the richest people born rich?
Why is the system designed so you never really own anything—just pay for it forever?
The Real Purpose of Celebrities & Influencers
Their job is not to entertain you. Their job is to keep you distracted.
Because if you weren’t busy scrolling, watching, and dreaming about a life you’ll never have…
…you might actually wake up and start asking real questions.
Like:
“Why do billionaires exist in a world where people starve?”
“Why does my boss make 10x my salary while I do all the work?”
“Why is the government more worried about regulating protests than regulating corporate greed?”
And the moment you start thinking like that—congratulations. You’re dangerous.
Because the rich don’t fear poverty.
They don’t fear crime.
They don’t even fear death.
They fear an educated, conscious public that stops playing the game.
And that’s why they will never let that happen.
🔎 Final questions to consider why having a drink:
Can we actually change the system, or are we too addicted to the entertainment?
Is the modern dream just fancy slavery with extra steps?
And most importantly… If celebrities disappeared tomorrow, would anything in our lives actually change?
