Being junk to you doesn't make it junk to everyone else. The only content you could re-present in 'your' way would be static contents, and only if they fit a specific design. This leaves out a significant portion of things that require dynamic capabilities. Something as simple as openstreetmaps would not work in this somehow ideal world.

The Boston Globe ran an expose a few years back that came to the conclusion that the cost of mobile data to download ads is orders of magnitude greater than what the web sites make. If verizon kicked back 2% of revenue to web sites then they would make more money than they do from ads now, and verizon would get the warm fuzzy love that they wish they could have gotten from Go90, Oath, etc. But no: their business model is "buy web sites crammed with porn, remove the porn, and hope some users are still around when they are done".
