This is due to increased prosperity as a result of the advancement of technology deflating most productive and tech-based sectors of the economy.
Don't believe me? Look at newspaper ads from 30 years ago and you'll see that the prices of a lot of goods were roughly the same (sometimes the exact same) but as a proportion of household income, they were much higher.
There's a double tip in that most people can afford more luxuries now, and the cost of entry has gone down too. So this means that they have the disposible income to participate in media cultures and art that they never had before.
You know how indians, when they got internet en masse 10 years ago due to facebook giving away phones, were the most rancid types of people due to having 0 nettiquette? And now they've moved onto being shills and scammers? That's the exact same as the normie invasion into basically every larger niche hobby and art scene. The numbers of sales/views have all inflated massively too. For internet artists, getting 2000 followers used to be a big deal. Now that's rookie numbers, because of how many damn people are online.
If you want good shit it still exists. You have to go where normies won't. Places that aren't fashionable, that are weird, that go against the grain and which you don't get social points for outside of it being mysterious and obscure/difficult. Like how people used to view those who said they watched Criterion films.
