Well, that's my point. As you said, entertainment is about having disposable time... it's about doing things for pure fun, when you're not working.
What happens when most of the things people do are
for entertainment? Society degenrates.
Imagine that suddenly people stopped consuming entertainment. In ancient times, nobody would notice. Today, most of us would be unemployed.
