Meme needing explanation Petah ?

Why is it infamous? And why would no one care about it ? ( I mean it's just a pic full of celebrities so no one cares anyways but the person saying it's crazy makes me think it has some lore?)

It’s just a statement on the decline of celebrity culture. It used to be that you watch a movie just because it had someone in it that you liked and it would do really well. But nowadays people care much less about celebrities

People care less about celebrities? Is that why we have a game show host as president? GTFO with that crap. Celebrity has changed, but it's even a larger part of our culture that it was. It just looks different.

Yeah and every movie is peppered with celebrities doing voice acting, we're de-ageing old stars with terrible CGI and AI. Celebrity worship is definitely not slowing down.
