You a right. Experimentation is good.

However, I would posit that, for most people to be willing to experiment and to be ready to enjoy the process, there has to be a pretty strong limit to the downside.

Being put into a position where "hey, anything can happen to you" is probably only appealing to the very small, very entrepreneurial segment of the population.

Moreover, sharing all of your intimate details with the world is much more like the situation where you have a lot to lose and mostly likely only a small amount to gain - except if you're a celebrity.
