You make interesting points about social media and the internet, but I just take petty issue with your phrasing that this would be impossible for any celebrity "to achieve". This shouldn't be anyone's goal. Fame of this level is imprisoning. I'm sire if it were formally studied there's a bell curve of how fame can be beneficial and then after a certain point the bad outweighs the good. Michael Jackson was well on the tail end of the other side of that peak.
