Why are celebrities, sports players, social media influencers, etc. held in high esteem when often they contribute little to nothing to society?

I mean scientists, doctors, inventors, etc. contribute more to society on a daily basis - even in their sleep - than a baseball player who is capable of hitting a ball & entertaining the simple.

Yet people rarely talk about the actually useful members of society.

And instead drool like starving dogs about celebrities, sports players, influencers & the like.

Many of whom do nothing for society - don't even donate - and often have options or behavior that are not decent or respectable in society. Andrew Tate as example is held in esteem and there's multiple potential cases of rape against him in other countries than USA.

You missed YouTubers like Mr. Beast, Markiplier, CoryxKenshin, and Jacksepticeye who actually have contributed to society.

All three have donated large amounts to charity, CoryxKenshin even having donated $10,000.

Mr. Beast has planted trees.

Sure, there are assholes who haven't contributed anything like Tate. But not all influencers and YouTubers are bad and don't care. I don't see how planting trees and donating thousands of dollars to charity is "little to no contribution". Hell, I don't think I've heard of inventors, scientists, etc. donating to charity at all.

I know too Cory and Mark did Make-A-Wish. Matter of fact Mark pulled some strings and got YouTube to include a Make-A-Wish person in the YouTube rewind with the family as well.

Stop following the bad YouTubers.

You gotta be kiddy me ROFL.

10,000 for a guy who makes millions couldn't be a bigger spit in the face of charities than shitting on their doorstep
