That's the thing though: none of those great pieces of entertainment will be things you put effort into.

If all the reviews of all the things are five stars, maybe the scale is wrong, no?

I don't think the idea is that all things are five stars, but that so many things are made that even the five stars minority is enough to occupy one's full attention.

The review scale is not wrong. It's the value we put into entertainment that is problematic.
