It is a substantial downfall as a "celebrity" to reach the level that anybody who remembers you can fuck you in exchange for validation or drugs
You're thinking of the golden days when celebrities were world-touring rockstars, millionaire executives or actual blue-blood nobility. Nowadays "celebrities" (as you point out) are soyboys playing vidya in their mom's basement.
No wonder they don't have any pull after their claims to fame are gone - not only because they were pathetic even in their prime but because at any point in time their fans can tune in to literally hundreds other people doing the exact same thing on Twitch with the newest, hypest games and fads instead (like eating tide pods).
What exactly is the legacy of a record-world speedrunner? An entry in a list on a website, which dozens of people already have beaten due to new skips and strats.
