Why Are They Famous?: People We Made Famous on Social Media

In this blog, we will talk about some people that got famous for no reason at all. There are some people we see on social media that are super famous. However, when you actually look at to their page, they do not do or mean anything important at all. Let's talk about them!

Social media is unstoppable and super hard to control. People get famous after posting a video of few seconds. Sometimes, these videos are nonsense. They do not do anything, but people find it funny and they turn it into a trend. Thinking that each day a new trend comes out, many people get famous easily.

For example, Skibido guy: Yasin Cengiz. What he does is, he dance with his belly. That is all. But, he was a trend for a long time. Before he posted his video under a song by Biser King, he was a farmer. However, right now he has 1,5m followers on instagram. Did he do anything meaningful? No, but people found it funny and now he is famous and living a life better than people who watched and gave interaction to him.

Is he the only guy that got famous with social media? Of course not. In earlier days of social media, people used to share long videos to became famous. Especially on YouTube. However, with TikTok, people dance to different songs, do different mimics, and get famous with their videos of few seconds. For example, D'amelio sisters started to post dancing videos on TikTok when the app was first launched. They posted 15 seconds videos where they danced. And they became super famous. After they became famous, their friends started to post videos together and they got famous too.

Another example, especially in Turkiye's part of TikTok, you can witness many people on live that are just living. There are some TikTok influencers like Hülya Mizgin. She turns on live, and just live her life in front of the many people. But she does not do amazing stuffs, she just exists and does whatever she usually does. And, she is pretty famous too. Also, her children are famous too but they do not have a privacy anymore.

Some people trust their genuinity, some people find them funny. Some people just like the way they look. And people get famous after that. With the power of social media, being famous is not hard anymore. But, people act different. They lose their nature to become famous. Actually, as the consumers of the media, we should be aware of the power we have. These people got famous because we gave that interaction to them. Maybe we did not like them, but we still commented on their posts. Maybe we liked them, and liked their posts. No matter what we thought about them, we made them famous. And, the part that makes me sad is that many people that love these people do not have a life like them. They wish to have that life, but as they keep watching, they feel worse. They feel like they do not have a life they deserve to live.

These people show that social media is powerful more than ever. However, we choose the content we want to consume. That is why, we should not feel worse because we are not one of the famous people. Of course, everyone can get famous these years. But I believe that it is important to take care of our digital traces. Thank you for reading my content. Never forget that you do not have a less worthy life because of the lives they have. I hope to see you again!
