If you want someone to buy your content these days, you gotta convince them it's worth buying in the first place, and worry about delivering on your promises later, because nothing you do content wise is going to stand out from a dozen other people doing the exact same thing. You've got to convince that person that paying you is a worthwhile investment versus just downloading what is everywhere for free.

Your grandpa's secret recipe shit isn't going to get your anywhere on it's own. Your entire logic lays on it's faith in one fatal flaw. The idea that people have the smarts to know better or learn from their mistakes and the mistakes of others. People are stupid stupid fucking animals. I've already given more than enough prime examples of this.

You seem to have this idea that people have grown immune to the marketing. Nay. They're grown immune to paying when everything is free right across the street. If anything good marketing has helped keep those who are still afloat in the game, when all odds are against them. In markets where this isn't the case, he who stands on top is still the guy with the best marketing aptitude, and the key to making the sale will always lay in the message being delivered by the salesman.
