Wrong gator. That is a naïve way of viewing commerce in general. You have a commodity, your time. You are selling that time for entertainment. The person you are selling that time to then sells it to an advertiser who sells that time to a company.
Money is a representation of value. Nothing more and nothing less. Your time IS money in another form in this instance. So is the entertainment.
So you do, indeed, fit number 2 definitionally weather you like it or not.
You are trying way too hard, and it is not working.
