Ideas/originality in general are running dry, so it was inevitable the film industry would decline either way.
When an agenda is being pushed, and ideas are being injected artificially, the product tends to suffer as a result since it didn't come from the heart. It's like when you see bad CGI, your eyes can pick up that its fake, the same goes for ideas. We are able to tell subconsciously that it wasn't derived from a natural thought process; it doesn't seem believable, which takes away from the experience on a spiritual level. Just saying that someone is suited for a role to fulfill some idealistic notion, does not make it so; as it is subjective, not grounded in reality, and from a source of thought that not everyone may be able to agree with.
The problem is people that control the industry on a mainstream level are out-of-touch, stuck in their own heads, hyper-focused on making profit/acquiring clout, and drunk off their own power. They cannot see outside of themselves, and just assume what they like is what everyone else likes, projecting their unstable feelings through the medium of film to a point where the viewer can sense that instability, becoming overly didactic and off-putting. True quality does not come from ego; to be able to see things and ideas for what they are, requires divorcing yourself from it and being in touch with your soul; and Hollywood has become soulless. So higher quality/spiritual value in film is more likely to be found in the lower-budget, independently-produced level, where most are driven by their passion/soul rather than their mind/money.
