Unfortunately, I think it is here to stay. But humans are very adaptable; I think things may play out fine.

See, I have some hobbies. You probably have yours too. The thing about hobbies, is that in many ways they are niche.

Of course, a lot of people enjoy running, but very few enjoy taking it seriously, delving into it beyond an occasional thing, to use it as an example. Replace running with any activity that may be approached as a hobby and that can be slopified.

And as any niche thing, there will be a separation of masses that consume it as slop, and those that engage with the real thing. They don't cancel each other out, just coexist as different things entirely.
