Adding my 0.02$ to it.

I have seen plenty of long-time viewers guilty of #2 and #1, and I don't mean those who started watching anime in the late 90s to early 2000s, but those from way back. As for #2, this basically boils down to having found one's own comfort zone and refusing to get out of it, as well as refusing to give anything outside of mentioned comfort zone a fair judgement.
My bottom line? I think it's unfair to accuse the newer anime fans (those that 4chan calls the "newfags") of being solely guilty for letting #1 and #2 happen. No one is born with flawless and most refined tastes, just like no one is silver spoon fed with caviar and the finest french wine from birth.
