That awful moment when you realize all those Star Trek holodeck episodes were just about AI slop mindlessly scrambling and regurgitating ancient culture, the pervasion of which being the reason that the Federation doesn't seem to have produced any new art in centuries, and that while their technology is supreme, their souls are all dead inside.

@JSteven Spot on. You never see any World War 3/Eugenics Wars holodeck adventures, for example.

Quark knew enough to hire a real artist for programs like Julian Bashir, Secret Agent and Vic Fontaine.

Funny how you never see his holodecks taking over Deep Space 9.

Ferengi have to be good at software security, because EVERYONE has bad intentions, and it's probably seen as a moral victory to exploit any weakness (at least pre-Nog).

@JSteven I once posited copyright maximalists won in the Star Trek universe, and we don't see any art newer than 1923 because it's locked down forever. But this is a better explanation.
