MAL is big yet I don't see any famous or self proclaimed famous guys/gals, like a low budget movies actor or a lousy youtuber who makes travel guides videos, or twitch stream dumb games commentators. Where are they? Does that "high"-face elon musk has a MAL account?

Most famous people aren't that active on forums etc..., I guess they don't want to say something they could regret.
Most of them might post some opinions about stuff in social networks, but often it's superficial, since you could hold it against them someday.

We have a youtuber with a fairly high following (nothing too major but enough to make a living, I think) frequenting the forums actually. I won't say who though, they may come tell it themselves if they wanna.

Also Pewdiepie allegedly used to have a MAL account. Here it is

I will and the user you mean is Digibro.

His last post was in 2015, and before that 2009. And disabled commenets. Coward.

Sounds good, last time Roseanne said some joke on social media, she ended up losing her job, respect and big money

Maybe they are, but are just keeping it under wraps. So that they can speak their mind without having to deal with backlash. Also if they reveal who they are people would treat them differently and maybe they don't want that.

Nope, the last time he posted in the forums was 4 years ago. You can hardly call that "frequenting" my dude.

We actually have a fair number of AniTubers and e-celebrities on here. However it's safe to assume those are very busy people. So I doubt the majority of them are active on the forums.

Partly because these forums suck major ass at this point. They may anonymously use the site for its features, but forget the forums. It's borderline shitshow.

It's really simple to explain in my opinion .

My anime list and alot of websites which aren't for public like Facebook , Snapchat , Youtube , they use it for their own purpose in private , so they won't record a video to youtube or show up in forums saying "Hey! I am [put a random celibrity name] nice to meet you"
They will just book to the list their watched/ptw/dropped/onhold/watching anime/manga titles

@trumpsc

He's quite active on the site just not on the fourms lol, arguable the most famous hearthstone streamer!

Anyways, they got better things to do that mill around this site lol.

Just can't imagine them revealing themselves if they're frequent posters (just as stated above). You know how followed those people really are, can't blame them.

I dunno, maybe people insulted him there. It's understandable then.
It makes a difference between "I don't agree with you on topic x, because... also, some of your arguments hold double standards and appear as standoffish / whatever and I got that impression, because ..." than "haha fucking retard, asshole, go and die" or similar.

They're famous enough

Rakin used to post a bit back when he first joined (2014), mainly back when mafia/werewolf games were all made in FG rather than in clubs, as well as some activity elsewhere, but hasn't really posted after going pro/twitch clout

It's probably because people have stuff to do.

Gaining fame doesn't just come to you after a few hours of doing your craft. A lot (not all) of the famous people out there spend a lot of their time actually honing their craft, planning their next moves, and so on. I mean, you get some nepotism and such, but even then they still need to WORK at staying where they are. You aren't really working if you're on forums.

For a lot of people, just that you're seeing them places means that they worked DAMN HARD to get where they are or they caught a lucky break (which is USUALLY a good amount of being in the right place, right time, and ALSO being prepared for that moment). And if you're actually working DAMN HARD then you don't have time for being a frequent MAL or general forum visitor maybe unless it's related to your craft (see some of the MAL profiles posted above).

So I really don't expect famous people to be on here often.;;
