I took your words the way you wrote them in that separate sentence. Considering the number of objectively useless services, practices, etc. that millions of people are willing to pay for, I personally consider usefulness to be a very low if present criteria in many peoples eyes.
Take astrology as an example. A belief that the stars control your life. Yet over 30% of the American population believe in astrology and they are willing to spend money on it. A 2.2 billion dollar industry (astrology, palm readings, tarot cards, etc.) is hard to disregard.
