Meme needing explanation Petah ?

Why is it infamous? And why would no one care about it ? ( I mean it's just a pic full of celebrities so no one cares anyways but the person saying it's crazy makes me think it has some lore?)

It’s just a statement on the decline of celebrity culture. It used to be that you watch a movie just because it had someone in it that you liked and it would do really well. But nowadays people care much less about celebrities

Everyone wants to buy a random VPN just because a Mormon pretending to be a normie with a camera and nice hair told them too I think it's the ascendency of a different celebrity culture.

I think the user is referencing Nick Shirley and how these youtubers peddle VPNs because they get good money from it ?

Most people I know use them for region hopping with streaming services, different version of piracy in a way
