Haven’t the examples I have given covered that? There can be moderate demand for high-value givers and moderate demand for no-value givers. Also, value doesn’t tell you much about supply.
People who are consistently mistaken about what they are getting for their money tend to lose over time if not their willingness then their ability to pay.
No, they have not. I agree that, of course, supply and demand matter. What I don’t agree with is your claim that “Value has little to do with it”. Not to mention that “financiers” not producing “anything noticeable” isn’t really relevant to anything.
If you want to find examples of situations where people’s income is not dependent on the value they provide, the easiest direction to look is direct power, for example government power.
Surely the easiest would be to look at someone with measurable economic value that happens to be negative.

I don’t have an opinion on whether TheAncientGeek is a troll, but speaking generally, outed trolls are pretty harmless and can be countertrolled for fun.

What does “value” mean if it’s not what’s determined by demand?
In the employment market, demand is whatever someone is willing to pay for, howver mistaken they are about what they are getting for their money.
