Music just isn't good anymore

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
I will absolutely argue that TV was better between 2006-2016 than 2016-2026. I think the detailed ratings (especially on streaming) ended up feeding studio decisionmaking into shallower works that their algorithms suggested audiences would like, and that we lost something in the process. The collapse of mid budget basic cable original programming also has hurt the genre as a whole.
Also, there's nothing quite like a high budget but mediocre show, that looks visually stunning but just doesn't resonate with you.
Absolutely, Netflix is the worst at this. They rate their in house series based on how many people binge it in the first week or two. No slowly enjoying a show. That's what so many of their good originals have been canceled. Apparently they weren't addicting enough for Netflix's tastes
