With more and more entertainment there are more and more celebrities. More and more "famous" deaths will be the result. Think of when the youtube stars start aging out

This.

The threshold of becoming celebrity keeps getting lower year after year, more celebrities, more deaths.

What's weird is compiling a yearly celebrity death list and doing statistics out of it.

the reactions from people are even more ridiculous than making a big article out of every death for everyone that's ever starred in anything slightly notable.  I mean a sitcom star from a show that was popular 20 years ago (hell make it a minor character cause you know people would react the same) dies and people can't go "I remember that one episode where bla bla happened.  He was funny in what I saw of him.  How sad" or something like that.  It's always gotta be "OOOOO NO SCREW YOU 20XX!  I AM SO DEVASTATED!" and say how iconic they were and what an all timer they were.  It may sound cruel but not everyone is...well me.
