How has the internet changed celebrity?

Asked by Imadethisupwithnoforethought (14682points) June 5th, 2012

I was looking over random internet links at people who have become famous for specialized reasons this evening.

In this particular case, a woman is world renowned for her work as a co-splay actress.

Has the internet changed celebrity in a significant way? Has the concept of being a celebrity changed now that we have 2000 cable channels and the internet fracturing the public attention?

What is the threshold for being a “celebrity” when human entertainment habits are fractured to a high degree?
