The "bandwagon" effect that you're describing happens everywhere on the Internet. I can definitely sympathize with any and all frustrations that you may have. I can't comment on it here because I am not nearly heavily involved enough, but as someone who is an Internet lurker and participant, the idea is true in every fandom.
