I really love a talk that Jack Gleason, the actor who played Joffrey in Game of Thrones, did when he was around 18 years old. He explains the unhealthy aspects of fame first hand, more honestly than I’ve heard before that.

Cool thanks I'm going to have to look up that talk. But I think that may be due to exposure at younger ages as I'm sure it has robbed the childhood out of some people forcing them to grow older than normally. We have to ask ourselves critical questions as a society to enable us to keep growing and evolving how we see things and the world around us.

It can absolutely rob them of a childhood. He talks mostly about cult of personality and how hard it is to have regular relationships when you are famous and how it’s unhealthy for the fan as well. I wish I could be that well spoken when I was 18!
Could you perhaps link me to this talk not so easily able to find it as not sure what I am looking up for. Keep in mind a lot of these people are typically groomed to be well spoken. Also depending on your social environment is typically how one becomes developed. Yeah I can see how overbearing that is to not know who your real friends are, but in a way that is why I love online as you can take another role if you so choose to see who accepts you as you are instead of what you can do for them or your status.
I wonder how many secret celebrities are out there on reddit or maybe even at hive. I could be talking to Keanu Reeves right now
Hahahahaha to be honest if I was a celebrity or really well off I'd probably look at outlets like this to just be naturally me. Reddit probably has a ton and hive i'd say far less as money or crypto may not be as important to them or the monetization side wouldn't be enough. For hive to get an influx of those type it would need some unique marketing or like a show like undercover boss, but with undercover celebrity or oprah on hive as a cross promotion for it to be really unique.

If I were a celebrity, I’d be just like Keanu Reeves, I heard he has long heartfelt conversations with strangers in public places, and helps people change the tires on their car.
I aim to be the Oprah of Hive for what it’s worth.
That's pretty cool I've often thought about doing that just to gain easy exposure, but at the start of my journey I want to see who my real community is first that I am engaging with and who values me for me and not what I could give them. I realize sometimes people treat you in certain ways only because of who you are or what your status is vs just acceptance of you.
Many when they say for better or worse only mean for the better.
