I think when you see an action you should always look for the reaction. For example the rise of short video and fragmented content also gave us a kind of golden age of long form spoken content. There's always a swing to the pendulum.

Similarly I believe the age of slop will put a large premium on anything that is done sincerely and well thought out by a human. Just because they desperately want to sell slop, doesn't mean the people want to buy slop.
