      It’s really just the classic celebrity trap. The Kardashians are celebrities because we keep talking about them, and we keep talking about them because they’re celebrities. (also something about the OJ trial originally). Like, can we just focus on something else.

        Weird thing is I’ve never once heard anyone in my real life (this includes extended family on both sides & work colleagues) say anything about the Kardashians. I can’t even form an image in my mind of what the “typical Kardashian viewer” is like because I’ve honestly never met even one.

          Well, there is also something to be said for the media pushing this crap down in the first place.

      I think it’s not a good idea to ignore what two of the richest people in the world are doing with two of the most popular social media platforms.

        Id agree, but maybe if people ignore Facebook and Twitter we could start treating them like every other evil billionaire. Maybe instead of enough musk spam, just have it news about all of the evil fucks and then he’s not getting all the attention.

        I think this is a lazy take to keep on posting about their artificial drama.

            Who said that? Ignore what he and Zuckerberg are taking about regarding this fake PR fight that’s never going to happen.

            Of course everyone should be critical of what these people are doing but don’t jump through their deceptive hoops but actually do some digging into what they’re all up to, who they do deals with, who they meet outside of the public eye.

            They’re not going to advertise the interesting shady stuff via their Twitter fights.

            Come on, man.
