And speaking as someone who worked retail in an outdoor store 30 years ago, I'd not blame your phenomenon of entitled idiots that won't listen on young whippersnappers or spoiled kids. Such people have always existed in droves, and are fundamentally lazy. The internet just makes it easier for them to find people like us, where before they would have had to get off the couch, and go somewhere to do so which put a filter on their numbers right away. Now they watch an episode of Bear Grylls, type two search terms into Google during a commercial, and they are here asking us questions while Bear builds a platform to sleep on to avoid bears, or walks around naked trying to hit trout...

If I'm gonna "blame" anyone I'll blame the media and their thirst for money. Same people I blame for an ignorant and distracted by sensationalism electorate
