What irritates me the most though and this goes mostly for videogames, those who think everything new is pure and utter garbage, loud ****s who claim older games are vastly superior and in that ignorance keep a blind eye to same if not worse flaws in their old precious games. With all that being said there are things I indeed hate about modern cinematography and video game industry, mostly unnecessary remakes plus shitty DLC's for video games.
I never said that there aren't gems released now a days, but the issue with it is gaming and and cinematography being swallowed up by the mainstream american audience. Gaming has become a lot more mainstream than before (I hate the term as much as you, just hear me out) and a money game than before. The public wants a more simple product that you can pick up, play and then sit down. Something that doesn't require hard thinking, but entertains your eyes. Shooters for instance, all you need to know how to do is aim and shoot. There are slight extras, but the main part of the game is that. Which is what sells. As for movies, back when technology was limited, it was still an art form, so even blockbusters were great. Now all the industry wants is to have the most extreme looking movie. One that will draw in a large crowd, regardless of how it turns out.

What all this means is, it's harder to find the gold in the mountains of shit. The artists are more limited, so independent media is what you have to look to. I know it's a typical way to whine in the music world, but it's a recent problem with movies and games and so on. Oh well I guess.
