The “best” TV you could buy in 2005, television shows specifically appeared to be “high quality” or “clear” and now if you watch a show that is directly uploaded from the producers (circumventing continuous compression from file transfers) you can tell it’s out dated just based on the quality of the show (aside from cultural cues such as fashion, vehicles etc)
tl’dr : I was watching T.C.A.P w/ Chris Hansen on TV when it was aired, watching it now I can tell how old it is based on the quality of the recording.

Similar issue with old games. They look terrible when they’re crystal clear, but on an old TV that they were always meant to be played on they look amazing.
It wasn’t just nostalgia and rose-tinted glasses, they actually did look better back then.
