What's an example of 'the more popular it gets, the worse it becomes'?

Marvel, everything felt sooo weird after Endgame, used to love it all, don’t even think about it at all anymore

There were consistent dips in quality before Endgame but never have I seen such a blatant display of soulless mediocrity as I have with Phase 4.

Yeah, it’s absolute garbage, but moneys the motivator and if people still pay for it they won’t stop

This is what happens when you try to make a sequel out of a hard conclusion.

For me, I think I just ended up getting too much of the MCU. Superhero movie fatigue, if you will.

I used to love them, but at a certain point one can only take so much. Endgame was good, and I liked it, but turns out it was the last one I watched.

It's not like I hate Marvel now or anything, but I simply don't care enough at this point to watch any more Marvel movies. Probably would read a synopsis online at most if I was curious about what happened.

Yeah I get you. After Endgame I kind of had a weird relief that it’s all done now and I can move on 🤣 everything after has just felt like a new chain takeover? Like when a recipe of a favourite snack changes and it don’t taste the same, just a mock of what it was

Netflix did artsy fringe shows, often centering queer characters. but lately, it's less fresh, interesting and ambitious than... say... NBC.

Definitely when bands start to get huge.

On one hand, you're really happy for their success, and that is ultimately the overriding feeling, but it also feels like something you discovered is liked by people that don't understand it and don't value it in the same way you do.

Same can apply for any artist really.
