I often hear an argument along the lines "content creators should be paid for their work". I think it should be "content creators _can_ be paid for their work". "Should" implies they are automatically entitled to it.

Put content out there, if I like it, I'll pay. If it's not good enough for enough people to pay for it _consciously_, then it's not good enough, and you stop doing that. You move on to better things and so does everyone else, with the added benefit of the content pool being a little less diluted.
