    Celebrities live in a world totally divorced from reality, humanity, or consequences.

    This is always the answer.

      Wrong.

      You’re talking about wealthy people, not celebrities.

    Why? Because they get paid to do so.

      This is the correct answer.

      Money. Money is the reason.

    because they get paid…?

    Is it hard to understand for some people that “influencer” is a job title that actually hides very little of the day to day business they do.

      We already had a word for them: “shill.”

      “Vapid greedhead” would also work.

      Doesn’t even have to be extreme if you don’t understand the risks.

    Because they have no personal morals and will do anything for money. Was that hard to figure out, or just an easy way to write a clickbait headline?
