Celebrities doesn't care about us.
I totally agree ! As someone who just deleted her socials and use to be a funeral attendant, I just really want to tell people to LIVE YOUR LIFE ! Don’t worry about what other people are doing or limiting yourself just because you think you don’t have the right ressources. Don’t be afraid to go out there and meet new people that doesn’t think or look like you . Don’t wait for people to live life ! If they cancel , WHO CARES !!! Go out by yourself . Start living this life God died for you to have . Everybody has a purpose in life , take the time to discover who you are . I really am loving this series already
THIS 🙌🏼
man I needed to hear this😭
I need this right here no doubt 💯
I mostly agree with you about celebrities, but what's the difference between Kevin Hart in a credit card commercial and you advertising a product in your videos?
Agreed - it feels somewhat out of touch because content creators/influencers are the same, it’s about your personality and I agree we don’t know celebrities personalities but it’s the same concept
Kevin hart is just well known, that’s it but that’s how marketing works. People like him so they are inclined to get the credit card…same for influencers
No one is idolising her for simply doing a comercial
I'm so happy that there are people who are starting to realize the difference between admiration for someone's work of art and creativity, and just worshipping them for doing nothing that is actually essential for the world. I hope more people realize this soon and just stop giving unnecessary credit to someone only because they are famous. Thanks for sharing your opinion!
THIS!!
"admiration for someone's work of art and creativity, and just worshipping them for doing nothing that is actually essential for the world"
@@ReneeAmberg You get worshipped for doing nothing Renee. You don't create art.
Omg I’m so glad I’m not the only one thinking this. This celebrity worship social media age is ridiculous. I sometimes wish the internet and social media could just be gone forever
In the Christian world there is A TON of idolizing of worship leaders & pastors. It’s insane. I went to Hillsong college in Australia 2009-2011 and while overall I met great people and learned a lot. There’s a ton of crazy 💩 that goes on. And really it goes for all leaders in the Christian world. I was raised Christian but now I don’t really identify with that. There’s a gross culture imo surrounding Christian leaders/influencers. More people need to talk about this, not just the non Christian idolization. Again all my opinions.
I had a dream about this the other night… the only one we need to be idolizing is Christ & we need to try to be more like him.
But the thing about it is, we’re so hooked on what we can see with our physical eyes. People are being captured by the enemy through the lens of beauty, fame, money, fashion, not realizing they are engaging in idolatry on socials & EVEN in Christian ministry. Seek first what? - That’s what we need to be promoting.
You are not wrong, it’s so far out of hand because of the fast social network pushing it. Thats just one avenue. Wish we could turn it off sometimes. Let people learn to think for themselves again instead of getting hand fed everything!
I would LOVE that!! God, to turn some things off ... ads, etc. would be so good for our mental health.
I’m so glad that you are bringing this topic up and starting this conversation. I’ve been feeling this way for a long time and I’m glad I’m not alone.
I like how you're voicing out your opinion and your thoughts are valid on this topic. However, some thoughts from me are: what change are you trying to create from this? You don't like what's happening and as an influencer/content creator, how can you create a better impact in today's society? I agree with you that there are some levels of toxicity in today's world -- but then again, we don't know the full story from other people's actions (from the example you shared such as celebrating 500k subscribers, posting images for what seem for likes etc.) -- we don't know the full story and it seems like to me that could come from a judgemental view. Just because someone else's actions do not align with us doesn't mean it's wrong per se. I like your videos and have been watching your videos for a few years now; I think I would love to see how you can create more good, a better impact other than rant in these types of videos.
Im so glad you posted this. I feel the exact same way and it s a relief to know that there are other who feel this way. Especially on those celebrities that do not contribute to my well being and do not stand for me or my values.
THIS is exactly why I LOVE your channel and your content and everything that you do. Thank you so much for this. I 100% agree with you.
Great video. I had a health scare recently and it put everything into perspective - suddenly things like looks, money, etc. meant nothing! All we can enter or leave this world with is love, the other stuff is just extra.
Yep .. that’ll do it
This is so true! This is one of my biggest frustrations. I don't understand why people do this. Thanks for talking about it.
Very true... Remember USA invented capitalism and you promoted it too in your videos most of the time.
@@ReneeAmberg so sorry Renee, this app is not working in my country 😣
This was amazing! Thank you Renee ✨♥️👏🏼
"they wanna become influencers, be famous for doing nothing" girl do you know what YOU DO for a living?! you're talking about celebrities but really you just described yourself
It's absolutely beautiful to see your growth. Keep it up, keep living your truth, it's awesome to see.
You hit the nail on the head!! Thank you for your voice❤
Completely agree with your last points!! I also try to ask myself, why am I giving this person views, follows, etc.? If I don't like their content or think it isn't of any benefit to me, I simply block so I don't have to surround myself with them anymore!! People need to do this more often, rather than just adding more fuel to the fire. Especially with the recent Selena and Hailey drama, which idk whether you heard about, but it has made me SO ANGRY. Why do we care??? We don't know either of them!! And they are 25 and 30-year-old women!! Why should we put any energy into talking about anything they say or do? Thank you for this Renee!!
couldn't agree more!
I miss these type of videos you used to do , please do more😭❤️
You are absolutely correct. 🙋 We need a part II. This video was so on point. 👍
For sure we want more of honest sit and talk 👏👏 you can say all of that again, I agree 100% with you
Lovedddd this topic style video, thanks for making my sunday so much better
This is so true, thanks for highlighting this! This obsession is dangerous and incomprehensible 🤨😔
loved this, completely agree with absolutely everything!
I’m curious how you are able to read the Bible in a positive, beneficial way when there is so much harm within it and it’s been used to hurt so many people. How do you separate the two and focus on the good parts?
Interesting comment. I mean no sarcasm but have you actually read and or studied/learned about the Bible? Asking in a loving way. ❤
@@floridanativelh568 I have 😊 I was a Christian for over a decade. But I think stepping away has made me realize a lot of the harm and trauma these teachings caused. I’m sure a lot of that was the organized religion aspect. It seems like Rene makes her faith her own but since she’s been wanting to get plugged into a church I was curious. I would have been bombarded with judgment if I lived with my boyfriend before marriage cuz it was “sinful” so I’m surprised she doesn’t experience that. Thanks for asking in a kind way ❤️ I actually really admire Rene’s ability to find the good in the Bible I just struggle with that.
I think it’s important to remember that all organized religions, political parties, communities… etc experience this because they’re run by people who are HUMAN. We ALL were born sinners and it doesn’t matter how well you know the Bible, we’re still sinners. There was only one who was ever blameless and pure and that was Jesus Christ. I think it’s important to align with Him. Get to know Him. And that’s where you’ll find your peace and be able to see all the good.
But also remember, the Bible is FULL of men and women who made some pretty big mistakes like deceit, adultry, even MURDER, and God still used those sinners to fulfill His promises. My daughter was born out of wedlock but I already see God working in her life and see how the things I prayed for having manifested even through my mistakes.
If I can leave you with anything, it’s that God will use everyone. Even selfish celebrities, even unwed mothers, even nasty politicians to fulfill his promises. ♥️
@@NicoleAndersonn I hear what you're saying and understand. Thanks for responding kindly 😉
@@alyw4493 you make some great points. We are all sooooo human🫶🏻🙏🏻
Renee, just wanted to say you´re the only youtuber i haven´t stop watching since the beginning, you´re true to yourself and so unique! I love your essence and now your family!
Thank you for this video 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I completely agree on this!!! It actually gets terrifying when the obsession leads to blind trust by fans. Being in the industry and seeing where some people’s integrity ends, is extremely concerning. Many get this persona they create for their audience and then ego keeps them expecting increasingly better treatment solely for their existence. For many it’s not about the community, it’s about what doors the fan base can open. 🥺
💯💯
Can’t agree more. In today’s world, all we want is attention and views and money. So much so that we have made it the focal point instead of a reward that we must be receiving at the end of our effort.
p.s: love your content :)
This is your best video ever. It's one of my favorite all time from anyone. You have so much wisdom way beyond your years. Bryson is a special baby with a wonderful mama❤
Lisa
Love that you started this dialogue. Each time I see you consider giving up the industry I completelyyy understand why. You are the only “influencer” I follow and I think I gravitate towards you because you have that awareness and see thru the bs! I love your content, I think it’s meaningful, and you do create good between the (necessary) sponsors. Looking forward to your next chat.
thank you xoxo that means a lot
Wow! You were on a roll!! Nice job!
Love, love, love this so much. Going through this journey with you huni. It's been such a big thing for me lately and the boundaries I've made has honestly been more refreshing than i could have ever imagined 🙏🏻🤍♥️
I have met people from poorer countries who idolized kardashians and its one of the saddest things. They are clearly in the place they are for a specific reason
All I have known is Kardashians became famous for being a bully,and they should be arrested for cyber libel about it,and I don't understand why people hype them
I could not agree with you more! It is refreshing that people are willing to open up the conversation and not blindly following and imitating celebrity! "We all live in our own bubble" - that is hard to remember sometimes and I think we all have the tendency to get caught up and lost when looking at the lives of celebrities.
love this!! ❤
Could not agree more. You said it really really well!
This is a very important message for everyone but especially teen girls.
Renee you have grown so so much since your experience with having a premi baby and I appericate all of your content..way back there was cheril ladd the actress and jacklyn Smith Farrah faucet and things have changed so much.
Oooooh I cant wait for these videos, you have a really interesting mind Renee!
I agree with this 1000 percent!! I get so jealous over influencers like everything they have and compare my life to theirs. I love this video so much , I feel the same way .
This video got me so hooked and it’s so true what you say!
Thank you Renee.
I 1000% agree with everything that you said. As I'm getting older and approaching my late 20's I've definitely noticed how much I don't care about material objects and popularity. Our society idolizes heavy consumerism and celebrity culture and the older I get the more I see myself straying away from all of that. Everything is always about money and it does make me sad that social media went from being about cultivating community and helping people/sharing information to becoming completely about making money and gaining followers/likes. I don't care about any of that and I believe the pandemic made me feel that way even more so than I already did. It all feels very fake to me and I am so glad I realized that at such an early age. The older I get the more I want to spend as much time with my friends and family, take the time to better myself through healing and educating myself on the world around me, and help people who are struggling in any way that I can. There are so many traumatic things that are happening in the world right now and instead of paying attention to what's actually going wrong I feel like society is trying to cover up what's important by promoting money, popularity, and consumerism. On a brighter note, I do feel like people are slowly waking up to all of this (ever since the pandemic started) so I believe there is hope and that hopefully we'll slowly start to see major changes in our society as a whole going forward.
⭐️ love this
Agree 👏 100 percent. I'm glad to see you are happy & healthy! You have a beautiful family. I don't comment as much as before due to schedule and the whole social media games. Still love you and your channel Renee! Xx💕
thank you xx
@@ReneeAmberg you're welcome!
Yes, I am actually scared about the future as society... like everyone is copying someone and at the end you lost your true self...
Yea. And people who don’t deserve respect are the ideal. From Whitney Houston to Kim K. 🙁
I feel like people pretend they care about celebs because they’re forced on us via the media etc but people also go along with it. It’s called collectivism
Agree 100%. I love the direction your channel is taking. 🙌
Yes!
it is a great speech of you, thank you for sharing these thoughts with us, it's make sense
Can’t we just… let people enjoy things?
loved this
Completely agree with this 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I hate it when they show
Celebs outfits on the red carpet like we give a shit. If you care, then your life is dull
Yes! I couldn't agree more, you said it so well 👏 To me they're sales people period
This reminded me of those weird videos you were making before you left New York and I had to unfollow you lol
Hi Renee! I enjoyed hearing your thoughts in this video. Just curious- for you as an influencer, what is your purpose and reasoning for posting what you do and being an “influencer”?
Great Q!! I love community. But my content I always try to spread good authentic relatable stuff. I used to sun my videos into motivation inspiration and entertainment .. now I sprinkle in some family 😏
You are absolutely right, it's really dishearting to see teens following them blindly and comparing all the fake shit celebrities do. It's also one of the main reason for terrible mental health in young people.
1000% I’m glad you’re opening this conversation.
Don’t tell them God is not the only God. Christ is the only way to life abundantly.
I saw insecurity come out when you said that, be bold in Christ love. I see your growth and priorities change since focusing more on your faith. Your videos are drawing me more in since your faith has grown. Proud of you.
People of Christ need to be drawing this generation in.
I think a practice of mindfulness and critical thinking creates a mental space between our view and the resulting judgment. I've become more 'curating' and discerning in what I watch. That is MY responsibility. What I would hate is someone doing that for me. Awareness is really important and a message like this continues to remind me to be discerning. Just because someone has a channel doesn't mean I need to watch it. Thank you for sharing. ❤
really eye opening someone who gets it!
100% agree on this, ppl are walking up from this corrupted system we live in...
Wonderful topic Renee, as inspiring as I find some celebrities I know they are human not gods and are not perfect like us. Happy Friday!
I fucking love you. Realest out there!
First!! Sending you all love ❤️
Yessss! If you keep going down this train of thought you might be the only interesting person left on TH-cam. This was a great video.
This was soooo good!! I am so proud of who you are becoming (who God is leading you to become!)!! Thank you so much for sharing, love you! ❤
I totally agree with you. You are so adorable. I think that this video is very meaningful. 😇
Couldn’t agree more. There’s so much focus on the superficial (while putting on an appearance of bettering yourself inwardly), yet never actually going inward & seeking a deeper purpose in life beyond aesthetics. I know ‘religion’ isn’t for everyone, but when a society as a whole detaches / distances itself from our Creator, the result is never good.😞
Like I said-More To Life Than Celebrities
I agree Renee ! ❤️
I found you when your father passed away, and I had lost my dad and was struggling to cope with that loss. You gave me courage to push through, a companion with which to grieve. When I longed for a deeper relationship with God, I was delighted to find you fearless in sharing your bible journaling and faith. Your influence is not one that inspires wealth or material things, celebrity or status, but you inspire people in pure ways that make a difference in the world. Thanks for a great chat that reminds people to ask themselves what they are seeking when consuming social media. God bless!
♥️♥️ bless you xx
I totally agree with this. Everyone is following the same script.
Edit: I think our society has a HUGE identity issue. I think the reason WHY people seek “attention” in any form is because they’re afraid to sit with themselves and figure out who they are, exploring what they like and learning. It’s easy to follow everyone else but much more difficult to follow the “trends”.
You're not wrong!💟
Lovely chat and a topic that's very timely in today's society. I stopped watching award shows several years ago and don't miss them at all. I don't follow celebrities on social media except for a few dancers and a couple of singers. I think the mental health crisis has a lot to do with the rise in social media. I'm old enough to remember the days before cell phones and no internet. Simpler, happier times for sure.
Renee, so glad you are going through this journey! I love your new content so much more than the old, it's much more productive and beneficial for our society. Totally agree, everyone is idolizing someone/something, and we need to reflect within ourselves what our idols are, and how that is affecting us and those around us
YAAASSSS 🙌🏼👏🏼👌🏼
Totally agreed 👍👌 however sometimes I feel sad for celebrities specially the younger generations because they are in public eye and people sometimes are heard on them, I feel they don’t have a normal life anymore it’s very heartbreaking 🥺💔
Beautiful Renee,
After my Bible Study this evening, i had to come back to comment and share this because this video was the 1st thing that came to my mind during. Tonight was about Identity crisis.
They mention how nothing on this earth can meet our instinct for identity. Not friends; family; status etc. Only God's word ❤️
God's word is a place where every question about our identity is answered.
When God is placed at the center of our lives the conflict finds resolution
Our true identity shouldn't derive from anyone else but our God.
Thank you again for always sharing such truth. 💖
OK so THIS WAS GOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
♥️♥️
Truth!!!!
Society idolizes these people… And make them richer! 😂
And I also agree with the fact that some influencers live for other people’s validation… Which is sad 😮
The Tubi Tv channel change commercial was hilarious
ON POINT
We need to look at ourselves and see that we are the same as these people. Im a musician and I don't put myself under these people just because I'm not famous Im just the same than they. Nobody haves to be idolized that's dumb, but thats our stupid nature of putting others in pedestals and not seeing that we are all great in different ways
🔥🔥🔥 yes yes , 1000x yes. Thank you so much for this video. Exactly what the people need, definitely looking forward to more sit down videos that’s actually worth listening too. Great content Renee!
Curious to know if you have ever worried that maybe a big portion of your audience idolizes you? I really enjoy some of the content Renee and other creators put out (especially videos like these!), but can’t we all realize that this platform, like any other social media platform, is designed to addict us? When we as viewers develop an unhealthy binge-watching behavior, which takes away from our own time and mental health, creators profit from this. Not to mention all the sponsored content, redecorating videos, hauls, etc. which definitely promote consumerism. **Not at all saying this to call out Renee specifically. And I also believe viewers need to take some personal accountability for our relationship with social media** Just wanted to share some food for thought and maybe hear some other people’s opinions. I think we ALL should be cautioned (both creators and viewers) to take a step back. Maybe creators shouldn’t be seeking so much monetary gain from this app and some viewers should re-learn how to care more about our own life and relationships instead of living vicariously through creators. And most importantly, social media companies should take way more accountability for how their platforms affect users.
I completely agree.
You are really pretty and so is your apartment ☺️
I agree with almost everything you said! One of my favorite videos you have done!
We're always going to worship something so I'd rather worship the Creator and not the creation. Agree with you 👏
totally agree.
This was so true and good.
Honestly, I was doing exactly what you were explaining, but now I see how bizarre it is!
Thank you Renee🫶🏼
100% agree
As an influencer you have people in the comment section idolizing you as well for years, and your job is to sell things wrapped in your lifestyle. Not sure how it's any different, you're just less famous than those celebs but still advertise Factor, BetterHelp, AG1, those bars etc to make money.
I wish more of the world focused on people who did good things & have good character vs how much they make or likes. None of that matters. None of that really says much about character. Unfortunately, priorities of most in society seem out of whack & the younger generation is heavily influenced by these people.
I think of this with award shows in general now. I LOVE movies, I do, but there are so many awards shows to stroke the egos of celebrities. They don't have public awards shows for doctors, nurses, EMT's, teachers, etc. It's as if somehow what they do for a living is a lot more important. I saw a doc on J-low and she was complaining about not being nominated for Hustler and my god the whole doc was about her ego. I respect her talent and she's a bad ass performer but get over yourself! Most of us go our whole lives without nominations for this or that and we carry on living. OOh, I'm ranty today. lol! OK back to my normal zen self. haha.
yes,,1st comment i am so happy
