To answer the actual topic, the biggest change for me has been in liking asshole characters less. Like there's still some clear appeal there if they're otherwise well-written or funny or attractive but generally I just don't want to deal with the negativity, even in a fictional setting. So to take one example, I'm not sure I'd be able to put up with rewatching House, because to me the character has gone from "what a great doctor who happens to be a funny dickhead" to "what a shitty person who happens to save lives".

This goes double (or like 10x) for media where the entire point is shitting on other (often amateur) media. "Angry Youtube guy" as a genre seems like it's lost popularity in general so I'm probably not the only one who feels this way, but it's definitely something I just find immature and mean rather than funny these days. (And I realize this paragraph is kind of hypocritical but... *shrug*)
