    I mean, that’s because we have more options for entertainment than ever before. If something is mid, why should I watch it over the 10,000+ 10/10s that I haven’t experienced yet, or even worse, why should I watch it over rewatching one of the 100s of 10/10s I already know and love? There’s only so many hours in the day that you have to watch something, why would you willingly spend time on mid content?

      We have more options, most of which is just “optimized” bullshit that appeals to the biggest possible audience and takes absolutely no chances with anything, and you’ve been conditioned to only want that instead of something that might sometimes not give you the best possible dopamine hit
