Yup

there are clearly a great number of influencers and businesses who are more than willing to accept the slop-quantity trade-off: they seem to think they will benefit more from producing slop that talks about the current thing than they will be harmed by the association with slop.

And the peeps who truly appreciate excellence/non-slop are few and far between, plus combined not that much money. Better go for a lower quality product and hit the mass midwit market
