Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

I think you're right, but you're just doing it by classifying popular YouTubers as not celebrities.

I would argue that fame from social media alone (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, etc) is still fame and enough to make a person a celebrity. It's the same picture.

Just like a person can be made bitter and angry by the clouds over head as they shake their fist at them and yell.

Won't upvote because I can't believe this is unpopular!

Ngl, this is kinda my favorite form of trash TV somewhat these days. I watch a lot of YouTube content but don’t really keep up with specific creators so much.

However, there is a channel I used to follow called Illuminaughti and she got ousted for being a scumbag. I got drown into watching that whole debacle and now I do follow a couple of YouTube drama channels. Good to throw on for some mild entertainment in the background occasionally.

As someone who is involved in that space, I agree and don't find that to be an unpopular opinion. Most people ive talked to about it understand they are one in the same, they just find youtube drama more interesting because some of them really are just normal people.

I've heard similar a lot. Not necessarily the exact phrasing you used, but close enough when it wasn't essentially a difference in which term was used instead of "stupid"

But I agree. Pretty much any drama is stupid to at least a small degree, because drama is stupid. You handle a problem, or you don't; drama is just being loud for attention, be it from the people involved, or hangers on.

The scale doesn't even matter. Small scale family drama is just as stupid as drama around a singer, or some YouTube talking head.
