When we think of social media, we often assume that it is a platform for celebrities. After all, celebrities are professionals who have a wide following on social media—look at the most followed users on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. You will see that these are Hollywood actors and actresses. Do you know what's the most followed account on Instagram? It is The Rock. Why, you may ask? Well, apparently, he is a popular celebrity.

Thus, there are hundreds of examples where you can see these celebs enjoy a massive following on all social media platforms. And that is fair enough! Through social media, fans get the opportunity to interact with their favorite celebs. They share their ideas in comments and direct messages and thus, the show goes on.

Of course, this massive following comes with numerous perks. The foremost among them is that these celebs understand how loved they are. Similarly, they also get to know why they are loved. This is how they develop mutual trust and build rapport with their fans.

Nevertheless, there are other Hollywood celebrities who have decided to say no to social media once and for all. Frankly speaking, they have their own reasons. At the end of the day, it does not matter whether or not agree with their decision to quit social media. For the most part, these celebs have said goodbye to social media to look after their mental health. Most Hollywood celebrities who have said goodbye to social media believe that it is too much for them to process. They argue that their mental health gets ignored as they occupy themselves on social media.
