Am I projecting? What do you think, fellow lemmings?

Certainly, there is a grim atmosphere across many social platforms. Mainly, the last few days from my anecdotal experience.

    Agreed. IRL things seem the same as always.

    For me, the grim outlook began when studios kept trying to cash in on the stories I loved, and continually ruined them. Games, TV, Movies. Enshittification started there, imo. It makes sense, really, for the product to be mediocre or even bad. And it makess sense why conservatives are so obsessed about efficiency. An efficiently made product is the worst possible version of the product that the market continues to accept.

    I have such low standards for media these days that it doesn't really phase me, and I get to be pleasantly surprised when something is good. I don't really watch much TV outside of a few select shows that I throw on in the background, I've never been much of a gamer so I'm kinda glad I'm not really clued in to how bad it's gotten, and with movies I'll wait for a recommendation or just work through my server library of old and new. I think I've just kind of accepted media enshittification at this point and there's already several lifetimes of great movies and books I've yet to experience that it's no big loss, and anything truly awesome that comes along in the interim is a welcome light.
