This is the wrong way to think about it. It's not what you pay for because almost nobody is actually making a choice to pay for it.
It's what they think you want. They're all trying to sell what they believe has the broadest appeal which happens to be vapid, emotionally charged shit. The thing is, when everyone is selling the most broadly appealing product, the whole market consumes less.[1]
I personally consume very little because it has such little value to me. There are quite a few like me for various reasons.
