I would like to share your optimism… I follow Flash Art magazine, and many other magazines about arts… to find something really nice - not extra, but nice that is not a copy of copy or empty or nihilistic - is quite hard.
After few pages at This is Colossal, Are.na, Dribbble, Deviant Art, It isn’t happiness etc…
it is similar to millennial grey plague.
OP’s example with similar wedding videos shows trend. Pareto is everywhere.
As almost everybody can be an artist (or they think they can be :) …statistically 80% will be average/mean results.
As there are more “artists”, we are knee-deep in average.
Sometimes it is better not to do any video and give a photo book instead. :)
I also strongly think there is a decline (demand?) in appreciation for such art. Even something not critically acclaimed or featured in the prestigious (think something more regional or local) may very well go underneath unnoticed and dismissed in a culture with no effort put towards education or attention for it. The result is an absence of vital nourishing/reflection for many a soul.

I look at This Is Colossal [0] and see how art and creativity is alive and fresh as ever. There is no end to creativity.

You are arguing that creativity is still alive by showing creative works from before AI? I think your argument is backwards.

Nice site! I think it will always be there, but the world is noisier and noisier, and it gets hard to hear human voices.
