A YouGov survey also shows us that all these celeb tweets and posts are probably just falling on deaf ears. Only 11% of Americans report ever changing their stance on an issue because of a celebrity, and only 7% have supported a political candidate because a famous person told them to.

What the archive of celebrity social media failures ultimately reveals is that the technology was never the problem. The problem was handing a direct line to millions of people to individuals who had spent years insulated from honest feedback, surrounded by teams with financial incentives to agree, and operating under the reasonable but incorrect assumption that their audience was on their side no matter what.
