Well, damn! I didn't know Grier's bro was a celebrity

Thanks Top Dawg. I find it fascinating and just subscribed to his channel. Lol. Must have been some serious shizz on that phone for him to beat the guy half to death for it.

Post and pie got combined. New badges on the bottom left in ava picture. The words above picture are removed. New ranking etc. Zob had a pinned post with some explaining, still working out and many that been here over 8 yrs were making "Im a newb now comments". In profile it shows pie given and received. @Scot's ratio is .0000004 give to 1000 received. Maybe your profile will show some of what i lsted here.

Social media personalities don't count as "celebrities". 

"personality" enough to be on Dancing with the Stars (reminder - new season starting soon!)

 

*"personality" = name recognition amongst some randomly selected generation of fans. Same way some random doctor person was on Masked Singer -- he made a name for himself as "the singing doctor" and got on some random talk show(s) to cause enough buzz for a producer to say, "yeah.... let's try him"

That's an old man's opinion. These people aren't paid millions in certain cases for nothing. I will concede that not every social media personality is a celebrity, but some of them certainly are. Perhaps it's more appropriate to refer to Grier as an "internet celebrity" (which has a its own wiki) or "social media celebrity" but it's basically semantics. Tell some of these millennials that Jake Paul and Logan Paul aren't celebrities, and they'll laugh in your face. Tell some of these tweens and teen girls, much less young women, that Amber Scholl isn't a celebrity, and you're likely to get some snarky remarks.

Celebrity evolves just as entertainment does. 

The Paul brothers are defiantly celebrities.  The one just duped a bunch of people with a Mayweather "fight".  I mean, that fight only happens because he is a mega celebrity in the current world we live in.  Old farts not knowing or caring doesn't change the fact he is a celebrity.   Younger generation could give 2 shits about some old celebrities too.

You go and ask 80% of people who Floyd Mayweather is they will tell you. You go and ask 80% of this country who Grier brother is. They’d have no clue. Mayweather is a celebrity, Grier and every other internet sensation is a passing fad. Calling them a celebrity is a disservice. I gotta side with scot on this one.

I don't consider Will Grier's brother a celebrity.  I do consider some internet personalities celebrities.   That Floyd fight only existed because The Paul brothers are celebrities. 

The internet isn't a fad.  Unless TV was a fad.  I mean there are a tons of actors who aren't celebrities.  Same applies to the internet.   The upcoming generations dictate celebrity and it's evolution IMO.

Move this thread. Nobody cares about this cornball. Stick to football.

Mayweather is a household name. He has been for a generation and a half. Some internet sensation with a few million hits on social media is not. 50-100-500 million? Still only says 5-25-50 million people watched their shtick. They aren’t household names. In their circle? Yes they are absolutely celebrities. Not in the general sense though? No.

The term "celebrity" just means famous person.  Some of you seem to be treating the term as some value statement dependent upon whether their fame is deserved or not.  This "celebrity" designation just seems to boil down to some arbitrary threshold of how much of the population needs to know who this person is to warrant a title of "celebrity".

I think there can definitely be relatively "niche" celebrities who are famous within their respective circles.  Whether this Nash Grier dude is a celebrity or not, it's hard to argue against top Social Media "influencers" as celebrities considering the insane level of views and engagement they get.

Celebrity, lol. Followers means NOTHING. The very, very, small handful who make bank are simply rich. To be a celebrity, you have to be known by all ages and all formats of communication. Staying on the Interwebs is jack. Now, the Paul brothers I'll give you ... as they've done PPV boxing matches now, are on ESPN, WWE, etc. They are celebs. That YT dude with the most views who shrugs and shows an easier way to do things? No.

[Skack25]

Having spent quite a bit of my lunch breaks (10 years ago) watching Vine videos..  Here are some useless tidbits:

There is another Grier brother (whose name I can't remember) who is even more "famous" from making Vines.

Also, the Luke Foushee kid... I'm pretty certain he is from Mebane, NC about 10 minutes from me, and was "popular" for doing voices like Optimus Prime on Vine.

The Paul brothers are a household name for certain age brackets.   Outside of Oprah, Micheal Jordan, territory…most celebrities are a niche thing.   

Tyson Fury and Deonte Wilder could walk up to the majority of Americans and they wouldn’t be recognized.
