Reality TV killed music the same way it killed being young & drunk - not at all. And if you think there's a significant difference between, say, TC Disrupt & Idol, I think you're giving Disrupt way too much credit. I do agree with you, though, that nothing would be a more foolish way to kill your reputation (and most likely your startup) than to submit it to the additional stress of reality TV. At least, it sounds like you're making that point in the second paragraph.
