Production companies have become proficient in gaslighting audiences into thinking that if something is popular, it must be good, and if you don't like it, you just have no taste. The films or musicians become popular before they even see an audience in many cases. They have formulas that work and don't want to stray from them often.

Is that anything new?
It's pretty easy to, for example, pull the 100 best movies from the 1970s and use them as an example of how great filmmaking was then. Comparing those top films to all of the movies made now isn't a fair comparison. The bad movies in the 1970s are unwatchable. Not only are they bad, but the production values and acting are so beyond bad. The average high school kid now could probably make a better movie than some of the stuff coming out of actual movie studios in the 1970s.
