So your whole argument is just cherry picking? Sure if you ignore everything wrong, you can say the system is alright.

By way of analogy, large portions of Reddit have turned into every other social media hellscape.

Reddit is still awesome if you curate your subscriptions and avoid the big subs.

Is it cherry picking to say Reddit is awesome because I’ve carefully made it that way?

This framing doesn’t make sense. It’s an ecosystem, and it’s not so much about “ignoring” things as much as it is about making active choices. If you go to a shopping district, there is nothing forcing you to shop at every store. If the district still has the stores you care about, shop at them.

There ton of people that won't go to some shopping districts because the rest of the area is an intolerable mess.

In the same spirit, look a Twitter/X, sure, there still plenty of people making good content there, but you can't deny that the website policies are steering it in a peculiar direction, and lot of users choose to leave Twitter entirely to not be complicit.

My gob is properly smacked by this reply.

I mean, yeah! Cherry-picking is the entire point of an on-demand video service. Are you just watching whatever it gives you in order? I seriously cannot comprehend what would possess someone to write this.

Do you not choose what to buy when you go to the supermarket?

You get to pick the cherries that you eat.
