Yeah and looking at the past with rose colored glasses. There was plenty of "slop" in the past. It was such a problem in the earliest days of video games that it almost killed the entire industry.

There's a LOT of old games that aren't good.
Its the same with music and films. They were so much better in the past and here's the examples. Not included in the examples are the thousands of songs and bands that didn't stand the test of time.

Survivorship/survival bias.
And yeah, it's the same old "they really knew how to make * in the past". Houses, bridges, spoons, video games, whatever. It's just that the well made ones survive, and the badly made ones don't.

There were other bands in the 80's than Guns and Roses and ABBA?

Listen my spoons from the 1950's cannot be beat. I hate how hard it is to find them.

Idk, there's certain structures like the pyramids where you gotta give credit where credit is due.
They really knew how to make some shit.
