[*]There were a LOT of garbage flicks from the beginning of time (most of them are on Tubi)

I agree all decades have had trash moments hell even just before COVID shyt was aight in 2019. I just feel after covid a lot of shyt went downhill and on a societal level shyt went downhill. Like we haven’t recovered and I noticed people are more fearful.

Deeply rooted during 9/11 and before breh :francis: . Each tragedy dictates the direction of the country and the products. No different from the 60s with the Vietnam War and all of these positive anti-war songs popping out, or the 80s with the new wave shyt during Reaganomics. Its just the same thing but Dark Souls difficulty.

Of course, if you of age, you will feel the changes of entertainment to be garbage. No different from when I was younger and ole heads would want to listen to that rappity rap tunes, while the marsupial was listening to Dipset and em.

Simple answer:
Consolidation.

When the internet was going mainstream in the 90s and early 2000s, it was a public square. Thousands of websites about whatever you're interested in. Now when people are using the internet they're using one of 5 websites(Reddit, Amazon, Facebook, Youtube, Twitter).

It used to be that you could stream movies through netflix OR rent a movie through blockbuster or redbox. Now if you want to watch a movie you're streaming on netflix or disney or prime.

Videogames are dominated by like 4 companies now who buy up any smaller developer with potential, then force them to work on whatever slop the company leadership believes will make them the most money.

There is a lack of domestic competition because the goal is to buy up anyone who can become competition in the future, then destroy them. You limit customer choices and you can sell them whatever you want at whatever price you want because they don't have alternatives. The government has allowed this to happen because these companies have also spent trillions lobbying politicians.

Social media has warped people's sense of reality and it's created awful incentives. Stupid or bullying comments get a lot of attention which encourages the bully or moron to double down. The collective intelligence of people is plummeting. I see posts written by people who seem like they have learning disabilities because they don't bother to even try spelling or punctuating correctly. Some of the posts online are barely coherent.

The end game for these companies is this:
Company towns and limited choice.

They want to run their own fiefdoms where you're forced to accept what they give you. The people running the movie and TV studios don't care about art, they care about profit. The same applies to all other creative industries as well. Music is worse, TV is worse, Film is worse, all because it's suits running these studios instead of former directors, producers or writers. They're attempting to replicate something that has been successful instead of taking risks because they do not understand these mediums or why they're important to people.

Absolutely.

This also applies to the places where such goods are consumed.
Just as is mentioned above with the goods themselves, businesses try to diversify their offerings to drive other businesses out of town.
You used to spend a few hours at the Wrecka Stow just looking around. But WalMart, Target, and Best Buy drove them out of town by
selling music for cheaper. Now that hardly anybody buys physical music anymore, those places don’t sell it - and now you don’t have
a record store anymore.

Every city used to have a couple bowling alleys, mini-golf’s, skating rinks, etc., places you could go to chill with friends or have a date.
Then Family Fun Centers or Dave & Busters comes where you can do all that in the same place, and runs the little businesses out of town.

Everything Everywhere is the same.

You act like nikkaz can’t do shyt in they free time. You talk all this shyt but if you take a look at music all the people that are popular are in age ranges your attesting too. Young nikkaz don’t even fukk with music artists they own age and are staying at home watching 4 hours or more of another young nikka living life on a live stream.
