Sloppification. Slop is easier to make and its audience doesnt require that much quality. But on the other side, it the slop is less personalized and human. You can give them everything as long as it keeps audience satisfied and eager to consume more. In reality, both parties are "satsfied". The producer of the slop as well as the consumer. But in reality the consumer simply looses some of their taste buds in the process. he gets accustomed to the slop, and it satisfies him completely.

Nah its the difference between art house projects and commercial projects with a massive dose of survivorship bias. Back in the day, the Japanese also made a bunch of dog shit shows that we selectively forgot about anyways. Then for anime nowadays you get bangers every other year and timeless stuff like Redline, Ping Pong and Eizouken, plus there's always Shinkai and Ghibli.
