Yeah, that's the basis of my issue with it all. Value created by people who do not benefit from it whatsoever.

That's basically all work?
Bakers get paid to make bread for other people's consumption.
Mechanics get paid to fix other people's cars.
Transcribers get paid to make media accessible for other people.
If you look into what is involved in the work, as well as who does it, I doubt you'd lump all those together.
What do you mean? All of those people are being paid to create something for the benefit of other people. They do not benefit from it themselves.
That's the exact opposite of the term "bullshit jobs" which is about the situations where people are getting paid (sometimes even quite much) for doing something that does not create any value, where the work done is bullshit.
Well it's a very valuable but underpaid job. A lot of college lecture VODs get transcribed and it is great for making it more accessible for people with hearing impairments.
