Everything just kinda... hit a wall in 2016.

Films, TV, general media kinda stagnated, and it hasn't really gotten over the slump. I run a Jellyfin server full of content, and the entire family has free access to it. Nobody uses it these days, nobody even bothers paying for streaming. Most of their entertainment is just Facebook, podcasts and YouTube.

Unless your show is more entertaining than doom scrolling a content stream that constantly agrees and praises you, then I dunno, man.

Hm, what happened in 2016.....

Edit: if it wasn't clear, I was referring to the US presidential election
