Wait Kim and Selena are irrelevant? I guess I'm not keeping up with the times

Yeah that was the most out of touch HN comment I’ve seen in a long, long time.

Persistent irrelevant celebrities are a real thing, but those two wouldn’t crack the top 500.

  • I mean Kim & Selena will always have a certain level of celebrity status but people like Sydney Sweeney are currently a lot more popular. This is in terms of "are they the most popular people right now" as their instagram count states. They are literally in the top 10 on instagram right now.

    • i think you're talking about trending vs popular.

      The signals are working as intended. More people will know Kim K than Sweeney because Kim K is more popular and has had more time to be more popular.

      why am i talking about kim k on hn lol

I honestly can't imagine a stronger indicator of somewhere I don't want to be than it having 400m Kim Kardashian fans
