Entertainment is a measure of the ability of a medium to capture the attention of some entity for a period of time. When the ability to generate entertaining content is a trivial task, the creation of content will serve other purposes. Government propaganda, Education, Information dense communication of complex ideas, Social engineering and manipulation, ect.

Hello! You have made the mistake of writing "ect" instead of "etc."

"Ect" is a common misspelling of "etc," an abbreviated form of the Latin phrase "et cetera." Other abbreviated forms are etc., &c., &c, and et cet. The Latin translates as "et" to "and" + "cetera" to "the rest;" a literal translation to "and the rest" is the easiest way to remember how to use the phrase.
