Does anyone else feel less willing to humor media these days? (hexbear.net)

I feel like I'm pretty much only willing to try something if someone I know and respect recommends it to me. I'm always super unwilling to just randomly pick up a book or a movie or whatever on my own... I feel like ever since being vaguely into Marvel slop, I'm just so much more aware of how finite my time is and I have to know I'm going into something worth seeing and engaging with before I'll commit to even trying something. Does anyone else feel this way more? Is this just the process of me calcifying as I get older, or is it to do with how society is?

I explore a bit once in a while, but I would say I have the same feeling. I just don't have the time to just waste away most of the time. He'll, even when I do find something I really want to watch I end up procrastinating and take forever to finish a series.
