A professor in film school showed the class how camera movement changed when synch-sound was invented, from amazing crane shots, location shooting, gorgeous photography, to locked down static shots with no movement at all.  Film cameras were fairly loud so when sound recording came along they put the cameras into sound-proof booths. No more lovely camera work. Art is subservient to the latest moneymaking fad.

I just saw an ad for the Bic 4-color pen. The characters representing the ink were ‘wrestling.’  Very slowly and deliberatly one reached across frame and pulled on the other’s nose. I realized that I was seeing the same thing, art subservient to the latest fad: tiny screens. The motion of the actors had to be slow and deliberate so it would read on the small screens that now are 50% of our consumption devices.
