This is the first response to my comment that I've found compelling. My only disagreement would be the idea that if the tradeoff is really that bad, you could quit and your fame would dissipate pretty rapidly relative to other media. Also the idea that being famous is an unalloyed negative; there are many, many people for whom fame itself is a desired outcome. I can't imagine this population isn't overrepresented among performers (esp YT).
