    It’s not a question of stress, it’s a question of soul-sucking. Pulling out what makes you, you. Wearing that persona in all your frequent streamed behavior, especially when it’s ostensibly “you” to begin with, definitely warps your mind over time.

    If you wear the mask all the time, it starts to cling. You start to become the marketable character.

    The unique thing is the way it directly and fundamentally interacts with the worker’s personality. Yes charisma is broadly useful in any industry, but this is the industry that is selling the charisma itself. The personality is the product.
