No, capitalism breeds efficiency. Resources are limited, so how do we know how to allocate them to get the most value? Under capitalism, resources are exchanged for money, and for the most part, people pay more when they get more value. So by having everyone pursue the most amount of money, you can generally get the most amount of value. There are of course exploits and problems, but it works far better than the socialist system where resource allocation is decided by a central authority that is usually clueless and disconnected from real world requirements.

Necessity is the mother of invention. If people stopped buying these types of stories, then all the actors and producers would need to figure out something that people do want to buy. But people apparently do want this type of story, even if you don't like it. Thankfully for all the people who enjoy these, the market decides, not a central authority.
