Why is anime cels so much better than todays stuff?

nowadays anime is inked and colored on computers.

compared to traditional media inking on a computer requires better precision or else it ends up looking pretty stiff. digital inking is more time-consuming, but since most anime is massproduced garbage they don't bother putting in the effort for it to look good. and in the past the person who inked the cels was probably most often a professional artist, but nowadays they can just get some korean to trace the original pencil drawings. they can just email the sketches to whatever gook company and get back the finished product 10 minutes later. that wasn't possible in the 90s and earlier, so they had to do everything in-house by actual artists (unless they got the janitor to do it /jk.)

same goes for coloring, they probably had an experienced colorist working on the cels (cels probably cost a bit of money so they couldn't just hand it to an amateur), but now they just color shit with a bucket tool in ms paint. a literal monkey could do it, and that's why colors often end up looking over saturated and unnatural in modern anime.

in a way, internet ruined anime

If corners can be cut, they will be cut. Such is the nature of things.
