>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.
