Ongoing copyright issues notwithstanding, it's because 99% of the mainstream usage of generative art, generative music, generative LLMs is noise. And sure, noise existed before but things like Suno and Midjourney amplify the issue by an exponential factor.
It crowds out the people who genuinely devote thought, skill and time into their creations.

Ranking systems like Reddits require user engagement to work, and most users don't want to engage with a never-ending firehose of MidJourney slop to the extent required to separate the signal from the noise.
