2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

MODERATORS
It’s easy to remember just the successes of the past and ignore the fact that the vast majority of media then was shit too… we’ve simply forgotten about the things that ended up being mediocre. Survivorship bias is really really strong.
It's funny how much survivorship bias we have. Movies, Music, Games. It's so easy to forget how bad some previous stuff was.
Nah fam -- go look at the movies that came out in 92 or 94. They were all absolute masterpieces we still about. There's definitely a filter of time but there's a reason for the precedent. We went from having a good bell-curve of quality to just 95% shit, 5% sufficient.
I’d love to see a scientific study that shows this, if the effect really does exist.
The complete lack of Hollywood creativity? You're trying to use science to prove art. Just look at the releases that came out those years.

But what wasn't happening back then was prestige TV pulling the top Hollywood talent to streaming platforms for a gold rush.
That's not happening now either.
Is this bell curve change a recent thing? Because it looks to be the same ratio to me based on box office Pre-COVID.

It's like nostalgia blinders.
An example a lot of people here can relate to is thinking about game consoles and handhelds they played growing up like the GBA.
There were likely some great games produced for it but there was also a lot of shovelware movie tie-ins and horrendous ports that were misrepresented in advertisements.
