What True Value do Web-Writers Provide for the Money They Make?

And I'm not asking 'what makes a web-writer's writing worth reading.' But I guess that answers the question I'm actually asking, "What does money BUY from us?"
It's not 'our writing'---sure, my writing (on their platform) partly belongs to Google; but I can 'take it away' anytime I want to! No, 'what "people who pay me" GET for my writing' is "the peripheral (side-view) attention of people who read my writing."
(That's why the main qualification for many of the affiliate-programs I join is "number of readers" and not "years of grammar-school" 
)

Mmmhh. Very tough question. What do you think is the answer to your question?
Let's start from there

I sorta mentioned it---we get paid more if our words attract more readers (preferably the wealthy kind).

@mildredtabitha But 'the universal law of the market' is Quid pro Quo (one GIVES 'This' to TAKE 'That')
You do TAKE a little bit of money for 'the content you post,' but--if you come back and erase that content--do you give back the money you took? No; because that's not what the money bought! The money bought "the side-view of the people who read your content."
I guess we're finding-out that 'we get paid for "people who like to read our kind of writing"---if we learn to write "the kind of writing most people like to read," we're one-step-closer to "earning Big Bucks like Big-Name Writers do"'

@mythociate I think we get paid for producing a unique content that was only in our minds

I was actually thinking about learning more about content writing. I guess a content writer is someone who specialises in producing relevant, engaging written content for websites.

Organically using lots of popular keywords (words about the topics that people are searching-for)

Yes you know all the words online are mostly utter garbage

Whoa-whoa-whoa! They're definitely NOT utter garbage! Not as long as they're entertaining/informing readers!
But even the most-refined gourmet-food is destined for the toilet/sewer-system/treatment-plant/garbage-dump

Web writers writes contents that solves problems that their reader and visitors of their websites face. If you write valuable contents then many readers will read your contents.
