Be glad. Many an episode would not have happened otherwise.

    I am so grateful that it all of DS9, and there were many hologram-related episodes, they never used "holodeck problem" as a plot hook.

    The writers could have.

    But they granted us a reprieve after all the times this was used on TNG.

    Enterprise-D's holodecks were bleeding-edge experimental technology. For example, check out that first episode where they introduce them; the crew had never seen them before! Also, the Bynars upgraded them pretty quick.

    In contrast, DS9's holosuites a few years later were established technology for commercial use. They were reliable because they were designed for paying customers who wouldn't tolerate shit turning real and hunting them or whatever.
