It might be mildly annoying, I give you that, but throwing a tantrum about people enjoying the same stuff as you but “not enough” or “the wrong way” is super immature and petty.
It’s exactly this mindset that started the bullshit wars regarding cultural appropriation.

The problem primarily is when a niche interest becomes exploited for profit by capitalists and no longer maintains the community-oriented culture it once had.
It will lose aspects of it that make it unique and special but they don’t appeal to the general public, because ultimately making as much profit as possible means attracting as many customers as possible.
