I find that the best media is created by people who have a job other than "content creation to farm eyeballs for ads". If advertising disappeared, there'd be a lot less crap on the internet.

So you've never watched a good movie or tv show or listened to good music? Millions of people work very hard fulltime on creating the best content.

Some people might produce some gems as a hobby but much of that is also crap.
