I think it's much more likely that the desire to wrap up ongoing plot lines without just making a rushed ending meant the last few volumes had to mostly be about that instead of daily life funny haha stories that were the high quality meat and potatoes of the earlier parts of the series. Starting planning Oshi No Ko was likely a symptom of interest and ideas in Kaguya-sama waning and needing to move on to the next project to keep paying rent, rather than the cause of Kaguya losing its steam.
there's been a lot
Things that i have watched and enjoyed and just recommend:
Mob Psycho 100
Bocchi the Rock!
OddTaxi
Summertime Rendering
Hell's Paradise is a solid gory action show
My Hero Academia is The Shonen that's been going on for awhile now - decent enough with some good highs but also has mineta
Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill is a light-hearted isekai (with an adult protagonist!) that i enjoyed
Those are the ones I remember watching, anyway. A lot of my anime watching has been older stuff, like Nichijou, original Mobile Suit Gundam, watching Legend of the Galactic Heroes again, etc., or it didn't make an impact on me enough to remember.
edit: Pluto! And Vinland Saga. Can't believe I forgot those 2.
It didn't become "appointment viewing" until like 6 episodes maybe? I always vaguely enjoyed it but it took a while for it to reach the point where i could see why everyone raved about the manga.

Highlights include Free Urine and the magic city of oysterfest
It varies country to country but Netflix should have most of the anime recommended
I don't know if this is good news or bad news, but AD, Frieren, Witch from Mercury, and many other shows that were suggested to you are available on Crunchyroll. (I know those shows aren't on Canadian Netflix, last time I checked.)
Yeah, I'm not looking forward to how shitty generative AI and corporate greed are going to fuck with my ability to enjoy subbed anime in the future. Also kind of infuriating given that the none of the savings from that bullshit are being passed on to the consumer. If they are going to forgo having any human oversight over the crap their cheap ass garbage programs churn out, then they shouldn't be charging people fees, as if they had hired people to do the work.
Granted, I'd rather companies would end up in a situation where they have to give a shit about quality, instead of the whole enshittification and race to the bottom bullshit.
No dont worry its not as bad as that thing tends to be
It lands the ending perfectly!
Don't worry, they manage to stick the landing every step of the way.
It has some of my favorite moments in the course of consuming fictional media in my entire life.

Been wondering when this would get an adaption. I'm also curious how they're going to approach it, because early sakamoto days is kinda just okay - It's not till an arc or two in it really starts to find it's feet and pull out the absoloute insanity that makes it shine as just the most ridiclous action manga. My memory is it very much starts hard on the comedy side, and now it's just The Action Manga (the absolutely insane action manga)

It's probably less a (intentional) strategy and more of a product of a newer trend where the following sequence happens: An artist/mangaka posts a series of funny gag comics on Twitter/Pixiv/Social Media, the comics get popular, the comics get the attention of a publisher and gets picked up, mangaka feels the urge/need to expand the series once the already pre-written funny gag parts are finished.
A fairly recent example would be Ruri Dragon, which had a long "pilot" one-shot chapter self-published on Twitter before it was picked up.
Late Edit: More broadly, the bigger point is a increasing number of series are being picked up off social media, possibly before the Author knows where they want to take the plot long term or even before they have a plot in mind.
