Read that headline again. Once more.

Guy Kawasaki doesn’t care about you, Diddy doesn’t care about you and Britney Spears sure as hell doesn’t care about you.

Please STOP talking about them. We know social media is filled with people looking to gain followers. We know there are tons of real-life celebs who don’t engage with their followers. Life is a popularity contest and internet traffic is the new currency.

Just stop following them. Stop mentioning them. Spend your time engaging with people who do care. Spend time giving back to others.

Popular people aren’t always loved, they’re revered. People want to be them. You know what makes someone popular? NOT FOLLOWING AROUND OTHER POPULAR PEOPLE.

Either shut up or accept it.
