....Just something I have been wondering.
There are a lot of people that are seriously interested in what he is doing. Me being one of them.
Is he famous? Well, a lot of people know what he looks like and a lot of people subscribe to his 'channel' of information that he provides. So I reckon he is famous.
But is he a celebrity?
Personally I really despise the whole attitude towards celebrities (in some cases I despise the celebrities themselves). I think the whole celebrity culture highlights some major problems with our society and also conditions the young to have unfruitful / unproductive aspirations.
Some celebrities appeal to different groups of people. In this case, DB and his work appeals very much to this community ie if you are reading this... you.
I've a lot of respect and admiration for DB and have even met him personally. I'd rather just think of him as a fellow computer geek (commander) with similar interests to me.
But is he a celebrity? Just interested to hear thoughts on this.
As a follow up note that that... If DB could influence the young to aspire to being like him, owning and running a business creating a product that is cutting edge and pushing the boundaries of computing - producing games that are so different from the rest of the '3 lives and your out' bunch.
Well... Now that's my kind of celebrity.
