RE: PewDie Pie from YouTube made $8.1 Million on YouTube, can you imagine if he was on Steemit?

While I appreciate his success and playing to his strengths, I personally find him to be a bit obnoxious, but I have also wondered what will happen when celebrities migrate here. https://steemit.com/steemit/@bendjmiller222/effect-of-celebrities-on-steemit I'm all for anyone who adds value, but if someone just uses their star power to gain upvotes from fans, I feel that will start the decline in steemit, since new users won't be able to have quality content looked at. In the dhort term a celebrity would be cool if they are open to interact with fans, but too many have agents run their accounts. I'm sure we will see some people as steemit expands. I just really hope they don't break the community of support and positivity that exists already.

I agree. I like the Steemit sense of community. I hope the expansion with future star power doesn't change the Steemit sense of community.

Exactly! I'm all for valuable content over star power. I'm sure some celebrities would be awesome here. But many don't have the time needed to make meaningful posts. It would be fun to say someone upvoted you that was a celebrity, but at the same time I truly respect some of the dolphins and whales more for what they bring to steemit.
