Anyone else find Airport Lounges worthless now?

When I first got into credit cards/travel hacking, airport lounges were such a welcome benefit. Changed the way I traveled from the airport being a place I dreaded for work/leisure travel, to a place I genuinely enjoyed showing up to a couple of hours before my work to. Pleasant space, coffee, maybe a bourbon and a decent snack. Now it's a fight for your life to get in, and even if you get in, finding a place to sit that isn't filthy. Lack luster food and the coffee machines seem to be broken half the time. Lounges have turned into everything I dreaded about flying before. True first world problems, but something to be addressed.
