Do you know what servicing the least common denominator means?

You are also wrong. For example, Shakespear isn't considered good by many. Many are told he is good but are just too fucking dumb to understand why it's good. It's an idea propagated by the people of higher intelligence down to the idiots of society. It's worked pretty well too, as you can see.

Edit: It's taken many years to get the idae of Shakespeare = pretty decent down to the dumbest idiot in society.

If your goal is to entertain the greatest amount of people, they you go with the dumbest, most idiotic, most basic, ideas you can get. Inherently that means the quality is also pretty shitty. There are a few, very few, examples of something that is considered great because it's approachable by idiots, but also deep enough for more intellectual people, but those examples are few and far between.

Pretty much this.

Farts are also entertaining, does that mean that one man farting into a microphone on stage with 100.000 spectators who all start laughing is of better quality than a Metallica concert with 50.000 people going nuts in the it?

Also, Harry Potter must be the best books ever written. Actually, scratch that; the bible is the best quality book ever written since it sold the most.

If 100 000 people spent more money to watch one man farting into a microphone than 50 000 to watch Meallica, that would be an indication that the perfarter has top-quality flatulence.  But since no one to my knowledge has ever paid anything to watch that, the quality of such a performance is obvious.  See how easy it is to apply the formula to reality and hypothetical scenario?
