That’s just silly. They could be just famous then. Or infamous. Words that mean what you are looking for. The point of celebrity is that they are celebrated. I’m making a joke on someone else comment using the word play of that comment and you are trying to change the definition to alter it.
If you don’t find it funny, fine, but please don’t try to alter my comment by altering a definition of a word to have an explanation to not finding it so. It’s needlessly pedant.
Edit: fun game, try to name a celebrity that isn’t celebrated. I couldn’t but you may fare better.
Fair point. Though in defense, it’s hard to tell a joke is in jest simply from text. I get it though. My response may have been a bit more aggressive than it needed to be and for that, I apologize.
A celebrity is someone who is celebrated. Generally positive connotation there.
I think we just then need a different word for someone who gives a lot of people something to talk about whether it is good or bad.
“Celebrity” just means “a famous person,” regardless of the origin of the word. It doesn’t necessarily mean they’re actually celebrated by anyone.

Nah you good. You never detracted from the conversation, you responded fine.
I think your statement on content contributor is pretty on point.
I’m not against asking someone to explain further. Especially in text. Doubly so for forum style short comments where the audience is varied.
