I wonder if it’s a matter of the platforms optimizing for the wrong metrics, or whether people just stopped paying for quality.




It's hard to motivate high quality at high cost on subscription based platforms. We all pay the same price regardless of whether the content is barely palatable or great, and we all want new content frequently.

Better then to pump out a wide range of mediocracy to attract and keep as many subscribers as possible.
