Social media has lowered the barriers to fame, allowing people to achieve notoriety through platforms like YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram without needing traditional avenues like agents or large sums of money. It has given rise to unconventional celebrities and has allowed some to leverage their online popularity into more mainstream opportunities. However, perpetual connectivity and the ability to capture everything on smartphones has diminished privacy and the mystique around celebrities, with amateur photos and details of their personal lives now easily shared online. The constant recording of people's lives also raises concerns about permanently tethering them to their past actions on the internet.
