It’s not how it works. A small percentage of users is responsible for bulk of the content. Most users are passive consumers. The 2nd group after that is fairly small. And most of the content comes from content creators (small group of people relatively speaking). What you are asking for is to change human nature. And it’s not going to happen.
Why are you acting like your imagination is more valuable than a stranger's actual knowledge? Stop making shit up if you can't tell the difference between shit you made up and actual facts.
