Sturgeon's Law has always applied, and when the industry has gotten a lot bigger to crank out more shows, the amount of shit feels more noticeable. And I think there's definitely some memory bias here where we only remember the best shows from the past and forget the slop, but trash has always been there.

IMO, the best hits of the modern era are really damn good, my list of all-time favorites has become dominated by mostly shows from just the last few years. The Apothecary Diaries, Bocchi the Rock, CITY: The Animation, Dungeon Meshi, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, Spy x Family, Takopi's Original Sin, all bangers.

I'm not tired because there are too many good shows coming out to waste my time watching the bad ones.
