That’s certainly not true. You cannot foresee the implications of all flies (i.e. the order Diptera) to go extinct. There are many that are pollinators and others (including mosquitoes (Culicidae)) that are important food source for a huge number of animals. Without flies the food web would change a lot and we don’t know what effect it would have on humans. But pretty sure that the ecosystem would be even less resilient and be more endangered to collapse.
Yeah sure, but they can’t be easily sold for money. If dead flys could be sold for money, humans would kill them to extinction, regardless of the consequences.
It is actually the other way around, many fly species are pests to humans costing them a lot of money. Flies are also the greatest killer of humans and there have been massive efforts undertaken to get rid of e.g. mosquitoes.
