I hope this point of view wins eventually. It's the only sensible one.

Presumably you paid for some of the trash you read, either through buying a book outright, borrowing from your library (taxes), etc?

Hey, if we have to pay a content-agnostic version of spotify $0.000006 cents per token to a vague group of original authors, I’m all for it!

But how are we going to compensate Kurt Cobain, the Beatles, Beethoven, and random sounds I heard from my backyard for my supposedly original works on my soundcloud?

Snark aside, for this analogy to work you'd have to be able to leverage your "training data" at a much larger scale than a single person typically can. You would also need to be able to train at the same speed. Scale is the key factor here.
