This works up to a certain size, then you start having to contend with more shameless money grabs, scalpers catching wind of things and making it impossible for actual fans/users of the product to get stuff for a reasonable price and more scammers.

And the opposite end of that is the corporatization of your previously small cozy wholesome authentic cottage industry sized hobby. It happened to videogames in the late 2010s.

Its also implying that the hobby will eventually burn our or become cringe in the eyes of the public. As most fads do.
