I loved nature documentaries as a kid, but they just got more and more enshittified to the point that I barely watch any now.
The problem is the shift towards more and more into making them bombastic and story driven. In doing so, things are often anthropomorphized in a misleading way that annoys the heck out of me. It used to be only low budget American stuff that used to do this, but now the British ones do it too because "We gotta appeal to a modern audience and education doesn't sell! We have to make it exciting!"
If you watch any nature documentary today you would be forgiven for thinking that all living creatures do on Earth is kill and fight and dominate and die, when the reality is that like 70% of the time animals are just chilling in the sun or playing with their cubs. Lions only hunt like once a week, it's not their whole life. (Obligatory shout-out to Steve Irwin for managing to make education exciting without turning it into a depressing tale about life on Earth being 24/7 suffering)
It makes me think about how that even when the truth is told (in this case that nature can be brutal) how the truth itself is presented can be misleading (nature isn't actually supposed to be brutal most of the time, but unequal focus is often given to the brutal parts because producers think it will retain audiences)
EDIT: Oh shit this is badposting ...uhhh... Piss poo
It's more likely than you think
