There weren't as many celebrities in the past, or not as well known so when they die no one cares. We have so many pop culture icons that are now old and ready to die that every other year is going to feel like a massacre of people dying but it's only because of celebrities becoming a thing when TV became mainstream and movie superstars were a thing.
It's only going to be for the next two decades or so when it'll feel like everyone is dying. Because now the age of superstar celebrities is almost gone, theaters are no longer relevant and no one will care when random youtuber dies except for the few that still followed him. Everyone knows Tom Cruise but (one) of the most famous youtubers PewDiePie not everyone knows despite being #1 on youtube for the longest time.
