And what do you mean by improve? Does a Doctor provide value if she extends life. What if that life is devoted to endless silly pursuits like chatting on IMVU.

Value is subjective. If someone pays for what you are doing, you are providing them value. You do not have to worry about the others. Yes, there are probably some behaviors that might lead society towards the brink and you could say that these should be negatively valued, but then who decides whether that society must be forced away from the brink.
Low-brow entertainment is valuable in someone's world.
- unalone 18y agoWell said. :-) I'm fine with the people who provide low-brow entertainment. At the same time... I really wish they'd spend their time trying for something a bit more up-scale.
- patio11 18y agoI have always admired Tom Clancy's response on whether he considers himself literature: "I entertain people. It is an honest occupation."
- potatolicious 18y agoThank you, couldn't have said it better. Who cares if entertainment is low-brow? IMVU isn't doing anything illegal, nor immoral, and honestly, if you have 600,000 active users you are clearly doing something people want. I define worthiness by the measure "are you doing something that benefits people?", and on all accounts IMVU is successful at it. You don't need to be curing cancer or ending hunger to be doing something worthwhile.
