It is a well known phenomenon that abundance decreases the amount of "specialness" we feel for things.

It is true for music, comics, really anything that used to take effort to find and acquire.

It is like a psychological corollary to supply and demand, and also why luxury goods lose their magic when they move down market.

The science on this (choice overload) is actually rather ambiguous.
