I propose that they do it out of love, and not for money. There will be less trash on the market and more high quality work.

A lot of trash is created by people who do it out of love. Cases include fanfics, youtube videos and videogames. (I am personally guilty of producing trash in all of these categories.)

Also, a lot of people love trash.

Actually, only those with lots of disposable time, or who can purchase others’ time, will produce content.

Incidentally, this is the reason why you should always pay your politicians a salary and why you shouldn't find "this politician refused their salary" to be meritorious - you don't want to artificially restrict your pool of politicians to the independently wealthy.
