I'm not a performing seal and my dignity is not so cheaply bought.

Okay, I'm selling some dignity for 500 USD, you are free to buy it. It should be a steal for you.

Unlike matter and energy, dignity is not conserved - you would both be degraded by the act.

If you somehow was able to give me positive dignity equal to the inverse of me flopping about in slow motion and failing to catch a ball in front of a million viewers, then I probably would pay 500 USD for that, and I suspect a lot of people would too.

(Actually not even $500 – it's multiplied with the estimate that the person would actually pay up without any sort of trick or gotcha, which would be pretty low in that situation if you weren't aware that the person is some sort of moderately famous youtuber.)

Ideally I would live in a world where nobody felt the need to sell their dignity.

The issue here is that you can't actually sell your dignity in a way that Arnaud receives $500 worth of dignity.
