Is it just me who thinks really weird the idea of "working" without producing anything?

Think of a used car dealership. They buy cars and resell them later for (usually) a higher price. Are they not producing anything?

As the sibling comment pointed, participants in a market are producing and consuming liquidity.

Folks who do this sometimes say what they produce is liquidity in the markets where they participate in trading.

They are providing a service, not a product.
