AFAICT, content is "rated" not on quality, but on quantity, as in popularity and virality; essentially all the things that advertisers love. Now, that's not to say that popularity and quality are mutually exclusive; only that popularity is the only measure that I can see in operation. I actually do pay for quality, but not on the internet, partly due to the lack of tokens, and the rather nasty risk of using one's credit card at countless sites. Each one increases the already too-high risk of hacking by some factor unknown to me, and I limit internet payments as much as I can. I'm not a fan of pre-paid credit cards. I use Apple Pay to conceal the credit card info, though that's not a foolproof system. Apple too often asks for a passcode when I am shopping, and in sight of shoulder surfers and surveillance cameras.
