Well that's, like, your opinion, man. If he doesn't want it who are you to say he's wrong?
I'm not just speaking of him, I am primarily referring to the guys that had huge hands in making that show what it was. At some point, people need to view the world beyond their own circumstances and realize when they have a serious opportunity to propel a group of people into better futures.
Would you be able to look at your friends in a run like that and say "sorry, guys, I already got mine and I'm not letting The Man dictate my work." I'm going to Ohio.

How about, "guys, if I keep this up I'm going to have a real mental breakdown and potentially harm myself or others."
Your assertion that Hollywood can't destroy one's psyche is laughable. It's not enough for you that he helped give those working on the show an opportunity to get their foot in the door (which he didn't have to btw). If those working on the show had enough talent to make it in the entertainment business with the show, they would be fine without it on their own merit. For instance, Bill Burr, Charlie Murphy, and Donell Rawlins are quite successful stand-ups now on their own

If it were affecting my state of mind and/or mental health? Yes absolutely.
Why does he owe a debt to the people who worked on the show, even if they were friends? I'm assuming they were compensated for their work. I can't imagine that Chappelle promised them they would get rich.
At the end of the day these are jobs we're talking about. I would not lower my quality of life just so a few people I know could have a job a little longer.
