> the quality of films/TV produced in the west has been in steady decline for quite some time I could agree the average quality has dropped. But surely you agree that the sheer volume of high-quality content has ballooned. How many high-quality TV shows can you name from the 90s? Compare that to the last 10 years of shows like: Succession, Ted Lasso, The Queen's Gambit, The Handmaids Tale, Better Call Saul, Ozark, House of Cards, Stranger Things, Silicon Valley, The Crown, Fargo, Mr. Robot, True Detective, Veep, and even (controversially) Game of Thrones.

>I could agree the average quality has dropped. But surely you agree that the sheer volume of high-quality content has ballooned. How many high-quality TV shows can you name from the 90s? Perhaps I didn't watch that much content in the 90s :-) or there is some other factor. For example existence of really good content puts the bar higher, or the fact we had few really high value productions many had high hopes for flops? (like the recent "The Rings of Power") However, there is one thing I'm eagerly waiting for. AI and other software led improvements to the ability to "remaster" some productions by fans. Perhaps then the entire series of "the rings of power" can be turned into a really good 30min short? Who knows.
