On the consumption side, I am absolutely in a fortunate position that I can afford to pay, and see value in paying, for books, to support authors, and so on (although I suppose that I see blogs as free-to-read). Perhaps there's a circle there.

Slop has no value to me, so I would not knowingly pay for it.

But perhaps someone who doesn't value creativity or human expression would not willingly pay for it anyway, so slop is attractive enough?

(Sorry, pondering aloud here.)
