What was ruined because too many people started doing it?

What Sean said, but the example I'm thinking of is when people started co-opting the words "Karen" and "troll" to mean "person who says things I don't like" which is not quite on the mark

lots of words people use - slang, expressions, etc. Like by the time the guy on the local news is saying it, it is extremely cringe - 'woke' comes to mind especially but there are a ton of them, and more on the way

Neighborhoods that have been gentrified. Now the people that called those neighborhoods their home can’t afford to live there any longer.

Twitter used to be fun until everyone started using it as a political megaphone.

Dying. Like when people do it in mass numbers? That's such a bummer. It ruins death for me. You can't do any Lion King Circle of Life mental gymnastics that makes you feel positive about the end of life when the end of life is just synonymous with mass slaughter.
