OK, assuming that there are enough people like you to make that a going concern now we just have to solve the problem of getting this level quality distributed through the population that wouldn't care for it enough to send it on to their friends, that is to say through the global network of humans with 1 in 10000 being one of the people willing to pay 1 dollar and the other 9999 people saying "what the hell, who cares"

I think it may not work out.

Ok, I can say this with complete conviction.

Any source that filtered their articles so only that quality was released, I would pay $5.

And instead of filtering out their writers work, it would mostly be about telling them to rework, do more homework, get it right.

90% of quality is simply recognizing when you haven’t hit the bar yet and stepping up. Repeatedly if necessary.

The subject is rarely the problem.

Queue in archive.org links in this forum of entitled high earning s/w eng 1-percenters and the business model collapses. Sadly.

Downvote me as much as you like. It's painful to take an honest look into the mirror.
