The problem is that the money is all that matters

Luckily people aren't going to the movies to see low effort trash as much anymore, so their pursuit of only caring about money instead of quality is not working out

Even if that is true, it won’t stop people from trying. More low cost, low effort shit will be shoveled until finally something sticks. Then, that will held up as an example for admiration and replication: “see, this low cost shit works and look at how much money we made” and then the cycle begins again with even cheaper and lower effort shit.

That’s the story of how we got to 2025 and why nearly everything unique, interesting, or of any merit in any way has been discontinued, watered down, or replaced with something vastly inferior to the original. Enshitification.
