I think what often gets underestimated is that bland/cheesy/predictable can sometimes be exactly what people are looking for. Imo these kind of shows/movies are a bit like white noise, sometimes people just want to zone out or have some background noise. In that case a show being good or complex might actually be negative, since you might psychologically feel bad if you miss something.
You say that like there’s a shortage of good/great media out there, that people that don’t accept schlock just because it’s there are left to wallow in anger without alternative. No, we just watch things that aren’t garbage. It’s not that hard.
There’s a ton of great media out there, but whether or not something is good is an entirely subjective matter. If you don’t like it, don’t watch it. If you do, good for you. Judging people for what they like is shitty.

This is the most backhanded compliment lol
Sure, but that’s why people who have higher standards hate it.
Sounds to me like having high standards makes people miserable.

I mean, if you enjoy spending your life binging bland, low quality shit then I’m happy for you, current times must be a utopia.
