Remasters - are they better? What exactly is it?

What exactly is the process to remaster.  Not the FULL 10 page answer but just in general.  What is being tweaked?  Why can't I hear a bigger difference?  Old recordings (through Tidal) seem to sound essentially the same as the original.  But I've also not done an exhaustive a/b test either.

Anyway, do you skip the "Remastered" titles or seek them out?

I’m talking CD’s here.
To me remasters usually sound worse, because they are usually more compressed than the original. I always buy the earliest cd’s using the cat no, used on ebay, and have never been wrong when comparing them to the later compressed remastered versions
