I completely agree. I am also from the time where reality shows did not exist. I think that with these shows the culture of effort was lost. In the 90's an artist, he struggled and worked hard to achieve his goals. Now every two days we have a new Whitney Houston. This is not bad, but for me, an artist not only makes the talent great, but also need the effort and experience that leads him to become what he is.
Therefore, in my humble opinion, there are excellent artists who climb very fast to the top, but soon they end up disappearing because they are not properly formed.

Ya it gives an impression that anyone can just be the next big thing without putting in any effort or possessing any talent
Also it encourages this weird desire to be famous just for the sake of being famous
I agree. We live in a materialistic world.
I have to clarify that there are reality shows that they seem productive to me. Those shows that help people in difficult situations, I think they contribute a grain of sand. I know they make a profit out of this, but as long as they help others, I can tolerate this.
You reminded me my mother crying, for the stories that shared the tv-show "Extreme-makeover". And I have to admit that at some point I ended up crying along with she, haha.
That seems to be a common goal: get famous... nothing more, just that.
