How often do you flush the coolant in your car?
How often do you jack it up and check for play in your ball joints?
How often do you clean your Refrigerator Coils?
How often do you clean your exhaust fans in your home?
Do you seal any grout every year?
Do you test your GFI outlets monthly like recommended?
When was the last time you Lubricate Garage door springs and tracks?
You drain your water heater yearly and remove sediment, right?
These are basic life tasks that everyone can and should do as a basic functional adult adulting 'properly' and 'correctly' with best outcomes more important than finding/eating good pizza, but probably don't. People just can't sweat all of the details of daily life, and they definitely can't for basic daily sustenance nor entertainment, and that is OK and actually a good thing.
Talladega Nights is extremely mediocre no matter how it's ranked/placed. Elvis movies weren't meant to be remembered 60 years later, they were meant to give people a happy afternoon in the moment, and by their success at the box office it looks they did that. A fleeting moment of happiness doesn't need to be a 60 year artifact. It can be just a fleeting moment of happiness. (But the fact you are talking about them 60 years later actually kinda says something, doesn't it?)
Domino's is better than the majority of rich people ate throughout history ate. It's delicious. The fact that there is something more delicious doesn't change that. It's hot and comforting and comes right to my door quickly and consistently in a way I can afford. I'm not going to enjoy it less just because... something else exists. Something else ALWAYS exists. It's a bajillion times better than a bowl of oatmeal which is the other staple food I can have for the same effort.
Spotify/Netflix's algorithmic generated music/shows are better than the majority of entertainment throughout history. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyLsO6LpLSI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyLsO6LpLSI
Temu mass produced textiles washed and cleaned before each use are better than the 'we'll just brush it a bit and it's clean' fancy, worn all winter for 10 years with just some brushing, wool suit 'custom tailored' to fit a now much changed body.
Take a breath and appreciate rather than critic. The world is AMAZING. Anyone can be a critic. It's the easiest and least regarded job in the world. Ever had a QA department that thought their job was to be critics instead of do actual QA? They were always the worst/most useless/annoying QA department when it came to actual good software. This whole Netflix hate thing is the same. If Netflix did somehow turn into an art house it would SUCK at it's intended purpose. We need fleeting moments of entertainment as much as we need 60 year relic films.
