I am not sure I understand. The whole point of social media is that you don’t have to talk to people one-on-one and waste time. I literally have no clue what “community” is trying to solve. There is no way that people with a large community will have any meaningful interaction with their followers.
- prawn 7y agoMaybe I'm just a cynic but I don't think a celebrity would actually want meaningful interaction with followers, unless it was with minimal extra effort, just to have their fans think that. I've been surprised for some time that celebrities just default to the major platforms rather than band together and build platforms that work for them - purpose built to engage with fans efficiently, monetise (Patreon-style member posts, subscriptions, sales, paid downloads and so on). I know Instagram and co have special modes for those with large audiences, but I'm talking about something built from the ground up to serve the creator or celebrity. Sounds like hell to me, but there are loads of fans who would lap it up.
- bawolff 7y agoI think part of the appeal is the fiction that you are in some sense "friends" with the celeb. Sure its obviously not true; In many cases celeb probably doesn't even operate the account. But if they moved to a custom site, it takes away all pretense of you being a celeb's "friend".
