Some years ago the audience for Radio 3 dropped to about 25,000 a day. Listeners regularly wrote complimentary letters if the same formula continued, but the slightest change to anything produced howls of protest from what were actually angry intransigent bigots.

Market research was done and the conclusion drawn was that, in order to grow the audience to more reasonable levels, programs would have to change, which would inevitably upset the present lot. There would be a period when listener levels would drop and but it would recover and increase as a broader, more representative and more desirable listener tuned in.

The object lesson was that small or niche groups become increasingly narrow and intransigent and difficult to satisfy without alienating a wider and more representative section of the population. Small niche groups aren't even good for their members and are certainly not producers of new, interesting or creative ideas. They want things to remain as they are.

I'm afraid you're a bigot looking for a World of Bigots and I hope we don't get one.
