That's the problem exactly :) Entertainment is now a content factory for consumers.
Note how you don't apply any term that would imply you'd be discerning or have agency, like viewer or god forbid customer.
And you don't call the 'content' art, entertainment or anything like that.

When was it not?
When it was a luxury.
Was it ever? Iirc when Shakspeare was writing his plays theater was the popular entertainment...
