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.
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/

MODERATORS
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.
Oh I'm ABSOLUTELY angry by the rain clouds! But only one specific historical rain cloud. November 2nd, 2016. Those rain clouds fucking still make me sad! Screw you, Chicago! Bringing your damn rainy weather clouds!
