Doesn't make it "worthwhile"

depends how you define "worthwhile"
if people enjoy it/it makes them laugh/it makes a lot of money.... those are all good reasons to do something.

something making a lot of money alone

it was her job. fair play to her for writing it and doing well. and it made a lot of money for her agent/publisher/all the people who worked on the films... lots of employment there, so lots of people benefiting from it...

You can't make money without harming someone else.

quantitative easing... stops there being a finite amount of money
