What's the minimum level of fame needed to avoid being cancelled?
What's the minimum level of fame needed to avoid being publicly shamed? I mean, lately I see a lot of artists doing questionable or downright bad/illegal things, and yet they still have a horde of fans defending them tooth and nail. So it makes me wonder, how many fans do you really need to have that level of security? To know you have a fanbase that will always be there no matter what? Maybe 10 fans aren't enough, or even 500... what's the minimum?
You must look at small projects. TempleOS comes to mind with a small community. 4chan hasn't been canceled yet but they have more people.

English is not my first language, the translator gave me another way to say it. How is it correctly spelled?

It depends a lot on the fan base. You can get cancelled by a group, but it doesn't matter if your fan base doesn't leave and you have thick skin.
It also depends on if you need a platform or not. If you need an external platform to maintain your fame, you need to bend to that platform. That said, a lot of platforms have low standards. If you can exist on your own platform and can maintain your fan base, you're untouchable.

You're fine, everyone knows what you mean; it's spelled 'canceled'. Other poster was just being a dick presumably because they find the term to be cringey.
Edit: I have been duly informed that 'canceled' is the American spelling while 'cancelled' is the British spelling, so you're even more correct.

No no you talk fine. I was kidding with you just for using the word. People don't really say cancelled with a straight face in real life, that's all.
That's a good translator, I never even thought you weren't talking in English. Thumbs up

I guess it is a ratio between people asking for cancellation, fans and people not giving a fuck.

What's the minimum amount of fame to be famous?
Getting "cancelled" just means the celebrity got less popular.
If they cross the threshold and go back to "not famous" and can't work at the same level in their field, then that wasn't the minimum amount of fame.
If they become less popular but still "famous" enough to earn money in their profession, then they had enough fame...
It's less amount the amount of fans but the amount of Stans that will never stop being fans. It's two different things, and usually comes up when artists/performers have young fans without fully developed brains.

It sort of starts with what is "canceled" to you. Do you mean never work in the industry again? Lose all fans? Face legal repercussions? Someone like Louis CK had a reckoning during me too. It wasn't enough to face legal charges, but he stopped for a bit and lost some fans, but not all and came back after a couple years. For some that was enough, while others were pissed he still had a platform at all.
It also depends on the type of celebrity or artist. Some have very little barriers to entry to get their stuff out there. A YouTuber just needs to be able to post a video where bands or live performers can have venues cancel on them. Even if YouTube steps in, someone like Alex Jones can move to another site and keep making content for his fans.
I see canceling as a means of spreading awareness to others that a celebrity had done something wrong and isn't worth spending time or money on. It is often a stop gap when our legal systems don't have means to right a wrong. If a celebrity did something morally wrong but legally gray they shouldn't get off scot free
