Media, arts, film, and America: things that are not monolithic and cannot be evaluated with blanket statements.

A side-effect of the democratization of content creation and the explosion of ways to consume content is that there’s more low-quality things to consume. Low-quality content will always be produced in greater abundance than high-quality so there’s more garbage to dig through, but there are still gems out there.

Personally, after years of infrequent movie attendance, this is the first month that I can remember in my adult life that my wife and I saw two movies in the theater and given the opportunity there’s a third we’d still like to see!

Let’s go back to the good ol days when half of movies were about cowboys.

I can't watch youtube due to all these garbage. Youtube should allow me to blanket ban on publisher who use full AI for full video.

There is some resurgence in quality here and there but then there is Avengers, MCU, Star Wars and idk how you can balance that with any amount of quality indie products

Vague takes like this scream Facebook boomer. There's lots of great media and lots of bad media. It's the nature of trying to monetize creativity.
