This is almost too boring a subject to discuss because, well, I’m no so naive as to think any celebrity would ever be interested in me burner account or no. While I like to think of myself as interesting, I’m not THAT interesting. Also, really, even if I miraculously managed to gain the attention of a celebrity using a burner account — so what? What are either one of us going to get out of it?
I might get a day’s glow from knowing a celebrity gave me a moment of their time, but that’s about it. They, meanwhile, have no upside to talking to some middle-aged schmuck like me. So, I have a very high bar to such encounters. You can’t just tell me you’re a celebrity, you have to prove it in several different ways.
The burner account — or purported burner account — type I don’t get is the one where a celebrity doesn’t even hide who they are. Those are the ones I’m the most suspicious of. That really doesn’t make any sense. Doesn’t make any at all. It’s very perplexing. But celebrities are human too, I suppose, and they’re just as screwed up as the rest of us, may far more so to be a celebrity in the first place.
Anyway. It’s definitely an interesting situation.
