this is why when your hobby/activity gets popular it goes from being cool people to being a bunch of assholes.
because assholes chase stuff for clout, they don’t do stuff because they actually enjoy it.
Good news is once something else is popular, assholes will move on to the next big thing, but whether you can spend a few years dealing with assholes in your activity/hobby is another thing entirely.
Grab a large enough group of people in any demographic, and some of them will be assholes.
