Yes, except the most useful content out there is available largely for free (or would cost a crazy small amount to keep funded, if the userbase contributed as little as $1 or $3).
In particular, I'm thinking of:
Wikipedia
Google
Also, maybe it will lead people to start putting trust in offline archives of information, which wouldn't be terrible either.
Honestly, a lot of the "content" on the internet is garbage/not productive. I can at the very least argue that lots of bandwidth that's being used on the internet is just watching shit that's usually not educational.
