Why do people support celebs but not people they know?

The video taps into a relatable social dynamic and offers a psychological explanation for why people might not support those they know. The creator's personal experience and confident delivery make the advice feel authentic and actionable.

The speaker explains why people are more likely to support celebrities and strangers online than people they know personally. This is attributed to a psychological phenomenon where supporting someone you don't know doesn't feel threatening, unlike seeing someone you know succeed, which can trigger feelings of inadequacy. The speaker encourages creators to remember this dynamic and continue their efforts, as success will eventually attract support.
