Not really. And this is probably why the 'professional' media is having so much trouble.
Because there are lots of people out there who are willing to provide high quality for free on a regular basis, and it makes people hesitant to spend money on the same from those trying to sell it.
All that high quality content being available for free is exactly why written content has so little value any more and why platforms can't monetise it. Because there will always be people willing to provide their work for less money than you.

- petra 10y agoThat's just a problem of finding the good stuff, we have many tools for that(search, recommendations, curation, etc) and i think it's the place we could improve - for example if Google(or someone else) had an option to filter for in-depth, quality content - that wold be very useful.
- georgecarlin 10y agoThe problem is collecting all this quality writing in an easy-to-consume and easy-to-access fashion. Of course we all know 10+ bloggers who we read and who offer great perspective, quality writing etc. The idea is to consolidate this content in one place which makes it easier to access and also to find new good-quality stuff.
