The Making of a Vine Celebrity
Read this article about a current Vine "celebrity", named Jerome Jarre. Take a look at the videos that are linked in the article also:
"Jerome Jarre: The Making of a Vine Celebrity"
Not only has this guy become famous in an instant, it looks like he's not just a "flash in the pan" because is seems as though he understands how to use social media apps to promote himself and other things around him. [Update: He and everyone else IS a "flash in the pan" as far as Vine is concerned - since they're pulling the plug on Vine!]
Had you heard of Jerome before reading the article? What do you think of what he's done on Vine? What do you think about this kind of opportunity with mobile apps, such as Snapchat? Can anybody do it? Will such fame last, and is it something that can be made into a legitimate business?
HERE is his YouTube channel.
He just uses click bate to make money, its fine, but its not talent.
ReplyDeleteBut, people watch it either way knowing its clickbait...
DeleteIt's true, but yes people do still click on it knowing it's clickbait. No matter what people will click on it if it looks/sounds interesting.
DeleteI think he showed people that you can make money easy usng the internet.
ReplyDeleteEventully the fame wil go away. People will start watching others and after a while, they will forget about your content.
ReplyDeletenothing last forever and you need to make a career off something you can live on for sure, not a dream.
DeleteI agree with that, but if that person truly is entertaining or even just intelligent they will find an audience.
DeleteI agree with all of these statements.
DeleteI agree, fame does go away, no matter what it'll go away.
DeleteI agree, their fame won't last forever unless they do something remarkable.
DeleteI agree, people are always starting new trends.
DeleteIts true cause most of these people will make videos but they will soon get boring because the internet is always changing with more funny videos.
DeleteI think I've heard of this guy before he probably popped up somewhere. It's cool that it's much easier to get out into the world except there's also a problem with it. Literally anybody in our time can become famous a lot of people don't even show the true talent people used to have. It used to take tons of time and work to become famous and show your talent. Now people can just record someone doing something dumb and they go viral without even trying. People like this probably won't be famous very long because they'll run out of ideas to keep people interested.
ReplyDeleteI agree, people waste time looking for stupid things instead of great things
DeleteAll the viners seem the same, thats probably when he looks familiar.
Deleteyou got a point there brayden.
DeletePeople don't really know what "talent" is anymore, there are still shows and everything but sense phones and the internet came out people have lost what talent is. People like this are amusing to watch because it's what everyone want to see, not what they should.

ReplyDeleteAnyone who gets famous over these things typically close to no talent, they just entertain by doing stupid things that anyone could do and eventually they'll fade away
ReplyDeleteMost of these people don't have any true talent but people still love them as these super talented people.
ReplyDeleteI agree, most people who become famous have no talent at all.
DeleteI agree that is true, i mean someone literally got famous for literally saying a catch phrase. Its actually stupid and that shouldn't happen.
DeleteI agree, alot of these people dont have true talent most of the time its just one of their videos that gets popular and they are forgotten.
DeleteYeah most people dont know what true talent is anymore.
DeleteIt may be fun making videos for people to watch and then being famous and making money off their clickbait videos. But one day all that will go away. People will click on another persons channel and start liking them and stop watching them and what will they do after that? Yes they may have 1 million followers but you don't make money based off that. The industry will die out. Vine died out after awhile, then the creator deleted it. Everything ends in the long run.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Raven on that, people may get famous but eventually it will basically fade because like she said people stop watching and get tired of things so that means no more fame.
DeleteI think that the quicker people gain followers the, sooner people forget about them.
DeleteI don't think it's fair that people like him who have no talent and does things that anyone can do become famous while people who work hard and actually have talent barely get noticed. These people who get famous off clickbait won't last.
ReplyDeleteI agree, people can become famous from a short video but it probably wont be good or it'll be a one time thing of popularity
DeleteI agree, most people who become famous over one vid it most likly wont last long people are always finding new things to rave over.
DeleteI agree, there are people who work hard to achieve the same things as people who get lucky.
DeleteI have not heard of him reading this article before and i think what he's doing on Vine is completely ridiculous, i don't think anybody can become a celebrity in that short of time. I do think that since this happened he will have better opportunities getting himself out there on social media. But i don't think just anybody can go out there and get famous just because of a social media app. Honestly i think now that he got famous, it won't last long because people get tired of things and and go onto new things and as for making it into a business, i don't think so.
ReplyDeleteI think becoming famous from a video would be cool but theres always new videos that come around and usually that person will be forgotten unless they keep making videos everyone enjoys. Being famous from the internet I think would not be a reliable job. I believe anyone could become popular or even famous from a video but it would be hard to make a job out of it because the internet is always changing with new people and videos.
ReplyDeleteI agree, people who only become famous for one or even two things, wont stay famous forever, because people will forget about the content you made.
DeleteA lot of people these days are becoming famous from just one cool video on social media. I don't think they will stay famous for long people these day are always finding new things to rave over.
ReplyDeleteI think in order to stay famous on a social media platform they have to keep their content original. If they don't evolve , people will get bored they move on. Now a days people can gain a following easily but it never lasts.
ReplyDeleteThere's definitely a lack of original content these days, if there was someone who kept up with the times, they'd probably last for a while.
DeleteIt's definitely easy to become famous these days, just make something either extremely stupid, or semi-funny, and you'll blow up.
