I’ve been hearing about substack forever and kinda resisted the hype because I thought it was going to be just another crappy algorithmic platform. When I finally joined I was like “oh! this is like tumblr for grownups. So this where all my livejournal friends went! I like this.” and now the celebs enter the chat. Boo.
i really enjoyed this and agree! i think the sentiments you included at the end (about why people are afraid to say how they're truly feeling) are true and honestly kinda vital to our self-awareness as artists and as consumers of media
I think a lot of people come here to build community and find connections. With celebrities on substack there’s community building to a certain extent, like maybe in chat, but you’re really just a fan to them.
And don’t even get me started on any celeb posts behind a paywall!

I agree! We gotta support the normies

Literally all of my sentiments exactly!
Because it’s just like I HAD TO SAY SONETHING!
