It'd turn into a world where people would try to make money (which still happens but normally is sniffed out), instead of a place where people like LundgrensFrontKick produce content, for free, because they love doing so, like:

* Comparing the box office success of movies that have a snowmobile action scene vs those that have a jet ski action scene
