There is still good stuff coming out. I think people look at the past with rose colored glasses. We've always had to sift through a sea of shit to find good stuff.
The amount of trash released to VHS during the heyday of Blockbuster is something most people forget about. Most people browsed along the walls for the new releases, but all of those shelves in the middle of the store were full of straight to home video releases that were really really not good. Think Hallmark channel content but with even less talent. Think Troma again, with less talent. Think Jack Black recreating movies bad, but without meaning to be that bad
People do this with music too. People forget that for every Fiona Apple there was 10 other studio manufactured slop artists just shoved out there by the industry, and these have largely been forgotten about.
There have been tons of great TV series over the last decade.
I think there’s been a steep decline since around 2020 and enough people agree that there’s a Wikipedia article about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Age_of_Television_(2000...
