Do you feel with OTTs, youtube content is of poor quality?

So ocean of content is being produced(much more than ever), but I find it hard to find anything to worth watching. Does it happen with you too? Or you are happy with the quality? My 2 cents on what is happening, producers are targeting mass market hence are making dumb content so it works for the lowest common denominator. They are trying to exploit instant gratification with producing spicy, raunchy, stupid , shock inducing content. But this behavior would always have been there ? What changed now? In video Matt Damon says OTT killed quality cinema as whole business model of movies is now shifting to online watching and nobody is buying DVDs or even going to cinema halls, so need to make mass-market movies.(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jx8F5Imd8A8) But is there someone who is producing good content ?Please recommend if you seen any quality /fresh content recently. I resort to still watching old movies, tv-series which still feel like gold standard in comparison to crap being produced today. Best days are over it seems.

They copy the content. Mirzapur went viral, the whole industry started making the same shit.

@TheOatmeal agree they are trying to work on a fixed formula.. but that's a stupid way to approach content so audience gets bored by watching same thing again.. they should ideally try to bring new ideas ..but guess here also they don't want to experiment..Anurag kashyap said something along these lines.. indian industry doesn't create original content..
