Shakespeare wrote popular - and extremely successful - plays for the audience of the time. He was not writing Great Art regardless of what would sell, but creating plays that the public wanted to see.
I'm not sure that I get your point either - could you stoop to making it plainly? If your point is that there is no room for true art because everything is commercialised, I think that the opposite is true - i.e. that there is more opportunity now than there ever has been for artists to create and share their work.
