why not celebrities in general?
Hard for me to strongly distinguish this from e.g. following celebrities and today, youtubers et al, for better or worse.
What doe celebrities have to do with anything?
The cult of celebrity is why...
Because its celebrity news and people really shouldn't care at all
Obsession with 'celebrity' is not healthy.
I don't think it's the "billionaire bit", it's celebrity in general, and specifically celebrity in fields that HN readers find interesting.
Is that different than many celebrities?
Seems about same thing, since so many celebrities are indeed turds.
Different groups are interested in different celebrities.
