people really shouldn't equate fame with money because tons of famous people pre-internet died penniless.
I think internet fame can be addictive like drugs.

Public applause and admiration are intoxicating while they last. More than that, they are addictive, creating an appetite for the heightened feeling of acceptance that comes with being adored and revered. But when the applause was over, my father experienced a letdown, a feeling of abandonment, a depression, that diminished his pleasure in everyday living. After one has been publicly celebrated and is again in the privacy of home, the sense of isolation can be the more acute because of its contrast with that exhilarating moment when one felt like the center of the universe. And there is always the haunting question Will I ever get that kind of affirmation again? Will my next performance (or my next creation) be received with the same excitement as my last?
Folks complainimg about too many pictures is how you know she's mid.Damn, did you really have to post a billion fukking images?
pretty sure people said the same thing about fame in general before the internet became mainstream.
to me fame is fame, makes no difference whether you radio famous or internet famous, fans are fans no matter the medium used to become famous. detractors tend to be the same as well.
NOVEMBER 1999 ISSUEFame: The Power and Cost of a Fantasy
The daughter of an eminent psychoanalyst uses her experience to help us understand the pursuit of celebrity -- its psychological roots, its social meaning, its human costwww.theatlantic.com
the phrase "addicted to fame" predates the internet too.
the internet just helps keep people relevant more than any other traditional media platform and everyone who wants to be seen uses it to their advantage.
The difference here as opposed to the past is EXCLUSIVITY(good or bad), it appears more and more avg people are getting eyes on them, to have a huge populace addicted to this is not psychologically healthy for a community, much less an individual. Even if they have an audience of 10 faithful viewers it's the attributes that come along with thinking one is "popular". It develops in to narcissism, as cliche as it sounds.
It's different if a small few are addicted as opposed to a community.
