Let me give a slightly different explanation: if you look at the capitalisation of the global market of consumer's household budget reserved for education and entertainment vs the capitalisation of the global market for company's budget reserved for advertisement it is a two order magnitude difference. I don't remember exact details but it was like 1 trillion vs tens of trillions.

Like even if you wanted the sell consumers their entertainment you don't have the same budget as someone giving it away for free.

There is no easy fix for this, the information economy has reached the point of post scarcity and you don't really want to fix that.
