If it’s old and people still enjoy consuming it, it’s probably good. If it’s new and people consume it, it’s still unproven. The thing about “classics” isn’t that anything old is a classic. Anything that stands the test of time is. Old music wasn’t better we just stopped listening to the bad songs. Old books aren’t better, we just stopped reading the bad ones. Old movies aren’t better, we just stopped watching the bad ones.
