Anime is obvious example where quality (at least in technical terms) peaked in the 80s/90s. My theory about declined quality of media is that there is a practical limit to what can be achieved in an art form, and creative minds will continue to explore and push boundaries until that limit is achieved. After the limit is achieved there is far less creative desire to explore that art form (until a change in the environment presents a new potential limit), and creatives looks to other mediums or art forms. For Anime the limit was Akira or Ghost in the Shell, for rock is was insane shredding on guitar, for TV it was Breaking Bad or GoT. YouTube still hasn’t hit its peak.
