Change of attitude regarding speedsubs

What's with the change of attitude regarding speed- and qualitysubs? You know. Back in the times when Aone (considered quality group) used to release like >15 subs/month and Naruto Anime was still somewhat cool and not a pile of fillers.
People used to watch "quality" subs. A-E, Triad, Aone, L-E etc. where the groups of choice for almost everything. The (in the beginning) few people who watched speedsubs were considered dumb or as newbies (well they often were).
But then, for no apparent reason, the way things used to be and the "scene" changed. Today almost everyone is gay -not for bridget- but for speedsubs. DB and other groups like this get their subs multiple times more often downloaded than stuff from groups like Lunar.
And in the meantime the majority of /a/ considers one to be a looser for watching Mai Otome from Static subs instead of Doremi (speedsubbers). Main arguments are like "lol fancy karaoke" and "I hope you enjoy your uberstyled subs". Well of course I keep thinking "Yeah and I hope you enjoyed your crappy encode and the even worse translation" but nevermind.

How do you explain this change of attitude?

All of the incredibly high-quality groups have disappeared for some reason, nobody's sure why. These days "not-speedsubs" means Lunar, or Nanashi, who are:
1) not any better at translating (significantly over ADTRW/BUTTROCK/MEYRIN, the official randomly-changing-names group of Team 4chan!)
2) hardsub, when softsub-speedsubbing is a better encode
3) cover everything in so much unnecessary typesetting crap that it distracts from everything good; just look at anything AnY-Nanashi produces, especially. Noein and Eureka have the most ridiculously ugly karaoke you ever saw, and it covers up about half of the actual OP animation!
