My point being the only way to measure some contents worth it in anyway objectively
is by mass popularity, anything else is entirely subjective to the point that it is useless to rank it's worth.

I'm saying it doesn't matter what I think, it matters what people on average think.
I imagine that more people have enjoyed reading that trash than have enjoyed reading Heart of Darkness. I also think that a smart persons enjoyment isn't fundamentally worth more than a horny housewifes enjoyment.
A proper counter argument would be that sales don't necessarily link with enjoyment. Also metacritic style review aggregators are probably a better measure than pure sales. But if you just want to call me a spastic rather than trying to form a decent argument go ahead.
