Cycling? Great, increased funding for infrastructure and increased general awareness. Amateur radio? Lower prices for rigs, innovation, and more contacts to be made.
If your interest in a hobby is based on its exclusivity, it may be that you're more interested in exclusivity than in the hobby itself...
I think they were more likely referring to how when the public eye is on something many companies will start churning out low-effort products to capitalise on the interest. The market would be flooded with cheap and inferior products in that niche, potentially threatening the smaller business that actually cared about making quality products for those hobbyists. I know this won't apply to every hobby, but there are definitely a number of them that will.
It's not that some hobbies are based on exclusivity or even some other hipster rationalization, but there definitely is a period where a shit load of new people come in, read half a wiki page, then proceed to argue and talk down to people who have been at it for years. It ruins communities if the audience widens too much at once. I've been online long enough to have seen it happen multiple times.
Well, some people don’t do well with the higher speed and more social interaction it can lead to. It doesn’t have to result in giving up that hobby, but leaving communities related to it.
