I thought it was just me! I'll sometimes be sitting with a room full of people gazing at a big sreen and I'll be the only one squirming, covering my eyes and wondering how this can be happening. Frequently certain feeds are no better synched than youtube.
It seems as though slowly, over time, we are being inculcated into accepting lesser quality that what is capable of being delivered. This process appears to extend to most media, not just to video and audio. Even newspapers have lowered their quality both in terms of what serves as newsworthy as well as how it is presented. To wit, the Washington Post is now happy to present us with newspapers that often have the left and right edges of the pages obscured by smeared ink, causing the first few characters or the last few characters of sentences unreadable. Why? Because it saves them money, that's why. If you do not believe this as the reason, call their ombudsman and he'll tell you exactly what he told me.
I need not even delve into recent domestic food quality issues or the safety or quality of items that we import and consume, or into how this current administration has greatly exacerbated the gutting of various consumer watchdog agencies.
