Indeed, if it doesn’t it doesn’t make any money and disappears unless it gets subsidies. So the WNBA and orchestras get subsidised and can have professionals whereas without subsidy their losses would force them out of existence in short order.

And orchestras do get subsidies because society feels they have value even if a cabaret would earn more money.
Certainly a segment of the entertainment industry earns money by catering to the worst aspects of human nature, but that's not the whole industry.
