You seriously have no idea what you're talking about and I don't even know why you insist on limiting this whole thing on reviews, there is a ton more content on the internet that would be lost if the money would go away. |
Yeah if you have a one dimensional view which states that only 1 factor changes with time and everything else remains static, then yes.
But as I already said in one of my earlier comments, the economics would change to suit the new system where financial gain is not the only reason people create content for. Artistic value, wanting to be an opinion leader, wanting to be a celebrity, showing off talent are just some other factors.
There is NOTHING to say that creating content for these reasons would lead to inferior content over content which is designed to generate advertising revenue.
Yes there is a 'ton more content' on the internet, but most of it use other revenue models, not just advertising.
In the example of breaking bad, if there were no TV adverts, that doesnt mean walter white and co would sit at home doing nothing. They would still be actors but just accept the industry where acting offers a lower wage because it generates less revenue. Maybe they wouldnt agree to it and might protest, but the next generation of actors would because regardless of wages, they still want to be actors and would still act to the best of their ability. And while people might block the TV adverts, they still wouldnt be able to block product placements so it would still be generating income (in addition to other forms including sales of DVD's, blu-rays, digital episodes, franchising and so on)
