We’re all desperate for entertainment in these trying times. And providers are eager to meet that demand — even if it means putting out low-quality content. Where once there was an expected level of quality before any title could reach its audience, just being made is enough. Now more than ever, media has gotten to the point where average content dominates the “most viewed” section of Netflix. Where even a mediocre show can be praised and adored because of its connection to a much better property. Where a game that’s been in development and delayed for so long gets rushed anyway and fans are forced to wait even longer for updates to fix flaws. Meanwhile, obscure content of much higher quality wastes away, becoming buried in the endless torrent of streaming services. Yes, hopping on a bandwagon can be invigorating and inclusive. But we only have so much time to consume content. It is imperative to give the little guy a chance. Without change, previously good properties become stale, and without change across all genres the market becomes stale. Next time a streaming service comes out with its biggest hit, decide for yourself if you like it — or if it's just wasting your time.
