OP: In most cases, having average consumers suddenly dictate the movements in markets dealing with interests that are or were niche at the core will lead to a deterioration of perceived subjective or actual objective quality, thus alienating the original niche supporters and fans in order to appease a bigger and potentially more profitable (albeit less stable and loyal) audience.
It's not rocket science why the relationship between the two groups is strained.
