I tend to think his complaints about the quality of the content are well founded, but (1) strip off the production values and TV/Movie people have been making plenty of lowest-common-denominator slop for decades, and (2) the popularity of YT/TT crap reveals more about how people always would have acted with the current options.
Cultural elites' gatekeeping the production and wide distribution of video content is a double-edged sword, but I'm always suspicious of anything that implies some huge cohort of people like "TV audiences" are inherently worse than they used to be.
