What time did you have in mind when talking about this? Yes, those times existed, and they still exist. But there was never a time where mainstream media (which has now shifted to happening to social media platforms) wasn't slop and molded by bad monetary incentives. And still during all that time talented creators kept on creating for the sake of it, while often ignored by the masses - a tale as old as time.
