Sometimes I wonder if there is a trival general explanation for this. For example, a generation that watched good media grew up and tried to make good media… and it turns out that making it is harder than consuming it, and all the old pioneers of media are long gone, leaving youtubers to recreate the craft from scratch by experimentation.
No. It’s just capitalism. The incessant need for constant growth causes executives to rely on established franchises bc they have name recognition and built in audiences. So they just keep shooting for low risk/high reward stuff that panders to a general audience.
