The idea of a “bottle episode” came about from producers running out of money and needing to do something cheap with what they had on hand. The long seasons gave creators a chance to try new things. You got backdoor pilots like Star Trek’s “Assignment : Earth.”
I think most people watch a show wanting to plot to progress but some really enjoy the break and doing something else even if it’s bad they like the variety.

Yeah, but the ratio of something worth it to pointless filler was really bad.

Depends on the show and how much you like it.
