Some good points. However, I think it's unfortunately part of a bigger phenomenon. Sub-mediocre works are increasingly apparent in many areas, some of which used to be serious disciplines, as a result of the diversity and inclusivity that are fashionably forced upon them. Superficial judgements are inevitable once one has too many to absorb. And this results in the culture of celebrity that creates the fantacy, the illusion that as long as you make a movie, write a book, publish an article, or appear in public light, then you are automatically somebody.

This massitivity fortunately also produces finer products or at least recognitions of substandard ones. For example, 'Freddy Got Fingers' received multiple-category nominations for the worst movie of the year, and deservedly so. It is actually more interesting to be an observing participant as it requires working a little harder to distinguish the finer pieces.

As far as movies are concerned, I think today we have very fine actors and directors. And we do see occasionally exceptional works.
