Celebrities ignoring their fans on Twitter

Celebrities ignoring their fans on Twitter

It will not be wrong to say that stars are born only because we choose to show our appreciation for what their work. It is us who carry them up to the sky and it is us who bury them deep in the ground. They are nothing without us and we are everything to
them.

However, it is noticed so often that after we grant them the star status, they begin to think of themselves as special and find it below their level to respond to the very people who got them where they are right now. They refuse to acknowledge our existence
and fail to respond when we talk to them. It is almost as if they start thinking of themselves as some sort of gods.

The one platform where celebrities and non-celebrities come into direct contact with each other is the social and micro-blogging service Twitter. Millions of people use the service to try and get in touch with their favourite celebrity, though to no avail.
It is as if the celebrities only join Twitter to see just how many followers they can get on the service. They neither have any intention of hearing their fans out, nor talking directly to them. An update about their current activity or their upcoming project
is posted and that is about it.

With the celebrities acting so snobbishly, it is only natural to become filled with outrage. If there were not so many optimists among us who just couldn’t let go of the hope that they would one day get a reply from their favourite celebrity, a war could
have been waged these self-centred stars. A boycott of their films, albums or whatever activities they are famous for could have been planned and carried out around the globe. This would have surely taught them a lesion that they would not have forgotten.
It would also have served as a lesson for the stars of tomorrow.

Becoming disconnected with the very people who got them where they are right now is the worst form of gratitude they can show. They forget that if we gave them fame, we can easily take it back.
