The value is the entertainment escape (dopamine rush) that meme or idol generates in your synapses. Typically a YouTube idol has to have done something interesting e.g. Music etc.. so it's a creative space. Cat chez burgers was a big meme factory at one point doing millions.
Buy an ad and your customer might remember it. Create a meme and you live forever.
The OP is asking, what will happen when a generation of human are indulged in useless idols.
Then you continue to describe an industry out of useless idols and their fans...
Hack, I am not surprised by this type of apparently startlingly myopic vision of human society. It seems everything is just for profit. No matter how stupid the thing is, if there is a chance for profit, then go for it.
In the end, who can answer the simple question: Who create the value to drive the profit?
