Why film stars No longer Exist

So I often wondered why film stars or movie stars no longer exist. Yes, I know there are a few but overall the ability to sell a film on a stars name nowadays is pretty hard. I feel like I may have figured out why this happened. The answer is social media. I’ve never really used social media outside of Twitter, but over the last month or 2 I’ve expanded to Instagram and Tik Tok. There are people on there, just normal everyday people, who have like millions of followers. I feel like these people have replaced movie stars. Let’s be honest, most movie stars popularity were fueled by vanity. Yes, they could have talent, but it was largely about how good looking they are, who they’re dating and they’re glamorous lives. The actual praise for talent was kinda secondary. Now you have these influencers on Instagram and Tik Tok who have taken over that thirst for stars. People now go to them for whatever it is they got from movie stars. Maybe it helps they are slightly more “everyday” (seemingly) than movie stars, so perhaps that creates an illusion of being relatable? There is also more access to them through social media. But whatever it is I feel these people have taken over for movie stars.

  A director's name on a project/teaser seems to have far more impact than anyone else's.  

Silly question. Are you an actor or someone with multiple personality disorders? If you're the former then you're doing it to get paid and provide for your family. If you don't want to act then stick to bartender jobs.
