I think the fact there’s more trash than ever being produced kind of proves the original point, but I’m also of the opinion that we’re living in a kind of golden age of media production in that the tools for amateurs to create have never been easier to get a hold of; so alongside all the slop there are going to be a percentage of people, however small, with really noteworthy ideas able to express themselves in ways they wouldn’t have been able to in the past, and I think we should celebrate that.
Or, you know, just quote Miyazaki and be doomer about it I guess.

I strongly disagree; the fact that a bunch of trash is being made does nothing to prevent me from watching all the great stuff that’s also being made.
