Hollywood is terribly spread thin with a million choices of channels, and series, and streams, and games, and all of them shit, and all of them distracting us from learning inconvenient truths and rising up against the ruling class. So we just bitch and keep changing the channels seeking the next fix for our well-trained addiction to mindless hypnosis and perpetual propaganda enforcing "authority" tropes. (Most shows are about cops, justice, investigations, etc - as if we have a fair system - and even if they are bumbling idiots they still have the power while everyone else is another class. Even Dowton Abbey pushes the love-your-caste trope.)

I'm a professional animator, not a professional writer, but I'm (excruciatingly slowly) developing my own content and am realizing that good writing is most definitely not easy - but it's also not that difficult if you have proper strong fundamental guidelines in place. (Abiding them is the hard part.) And there are even some seemingly over-complicated (not cheap) screenwriting tools available that could be applied to bring all those crappy writers back in line. These tools require the extra time and effort of inputting all the extra data - but in the end you can track every character, its arcs, the intensity of scenes, etc etc etc and you can find the glaring gaps that need filling to be good content and/or fine-tune tweak the formulae for maximal quality. Further, all this extra data input and analysis could be handled by interns or whatever - so really it wouldn't be that much of an extra expense.

I've not missed a Nerdrotic episode since before Game Of Thrones season 8, though I can't do all the long Live Streams. I'd be happier if he kept them shorter and to the point and less repetitive and with less limited political criticism. On the plus side he usually shares the latest news and drama going on in the corporate media and media critic communities I'm generally interested in and I can follow up if I want more. Beyond Nerdrotic, RedLetterMedia, and a few others I have no need for more pop culture news.
