It always starts like that, but once it scales to 1000 or more producers and directors, we get Netflix type quality content in 2023. Great movies and tv-series are really rare.
Check out how popular stuff like 90 day fiance is , or how Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 was Sony’s biggest hit the year it came out.
We equate quality with being desirable for consumption, but media is so subjective and I’d hazard the vast vast majority of people have a lot of guilty pleasure trash shows they watch regularly.
Netflix knows this so has a lot of crumminess amongst its great shows to reflect exactly what their numbers show them.
