Just the fact that there's so much trolling going on on different anime forums about what show is good and what is shit is proof enough that this statement is entirely invalid. People have different tastes from you. Perhaps you're growing out of stuff you used to like.
Some stuff I see people complain about has been stuff that could even be found in anime from the 90's, but you just don't notice it as easily because of the way it's presented, or you weren't looking out for it at the time you were watching because it didn't matter to you back then. Of course, there's also more of an abundance of slice of life shows with cutesy girls living their cutesy day to day lives than there were before, but it's not as if this stuff is something new.
I feel it sounds more like you're forcing yourself to point out stuff that you dislike about series rather than just sitting back and enjoying like you used to. Maybe you're not giving the lesser known shows of the series that you may actually like any attention.
If you really have a problem with recent series, why not dig through old ones that have long been completed then? I'm sure there are tons of them you'd like and haven't seen yet, but you don't bother because you're too busy "disliking" the newer stuff.'
You have a point there. Anime nowadays are made to attract a different audience in comparison to back then. IMO, back then, there were more mecha based stuff in comparison to now, and like you stated, there are more Slice-of-Life stuff. I don't care about the cutesy stuff, I can watch that. I don't think I ever complained about something being cute. Maybe everything just seems like a rehash of something else to me now, dunno. I should start tracing back my steps and watch older stuff, then progress or something. I don't really bother to say "LOL YOU WATCH ___, YOU HAVE SH`IT TASTES." in other forums, but I do read just because I'm slightly open-minded.

I'm guessing this is a joke? I don't browse the forums on that site. I've mentioned this several times. I was referring to SmashBoards, Figure.Fm, Otaku.Fm, MyFigureCollection, and etc.
