You know, I've been in fandom for ten years. All of this stuff you are mentioning? It was there ten years ago too. It will be there ten years from now.

Yes, fandom has changed to some degree. Because of the internet, it is easier to get shows, there is a wider variety of shows available, and it generally doesn't take you as long to get a show as in ye olden days. This means more people can watch more shows and they can watch them quicker. In addition fandom has become more interconnected. With tumblr it is easier to link various fandom together, to be introduce to new fandoms through reblogs etc, and if something happens in this corner of a fandom, it is also much easier to spread information. Back in the day everything was more independent and if something happened over there, it didn't really spread much further than that one place.

Point of all my tl;dr is... the trends? The ones you are complaining about? Have always been there. They have become more noticeable now just cause of sheer numbers and how much easier things spread. But it is not a new thing. And really... it is probably you growing up and your taste maturing more that makes you see these things more. I know there is stuff that I didn't give a toss about even five years ago that grinds my gears now. Doesn't mean it's a new thing, just means I am finally noticing it.
