Yes, I totally get that. But at the same time, I think it's a viscous cycle. People are forced to play the game that way because that's the way the game is played (and even in my hypothetical scenario, they could continue playing it as much as they want and then yes, it would absolutely be their fault for every media pitfall they bring down upon themselves).
I chose to be a writer, and thankfully writers don't get famous. But if I wanted to be an actor or singer, I would choose not to be part of those institutions because I would not want to subject myself to that level of scrutiny. But think about that: that's also why no one wants to be a politician, and that's why we only wind up with the very worst options.
We wind up with reality show contestants for every public office because they are the only ones who are up for being recorded like that.
