The giant enabling lie of the mass media is that really bad shit has value.
All kinds of things have value for segments of the population, but very few
things actually get on the playlist, as a glance at broadcast, cable, am/fm
radio, newspapers and advertisements will confirm.
Good shit gets suppressed because bad shit succeeds in coasting on the lie
that it is what we all want.
With the net, value can, one might hope, be more granular. One does not need
some mega-enterprise that wouldn't know good shit if it fell from God
himself to decide it, produce it, or transmit it.
I'll pay for good shit. The hope is, we all do not have to continually pay,
through our wallets, souls and posteriors, for bad shit.

I should know better than to feed a troll, but...
How do you propose that those of us who maintain the
infrastructure pay our rent, once you ban all commercial enterprises from
the net?
