I think people were willing to ignore the exploitation of workers and human rights abuses when Dubai was still a money train. Now that it has crashed outrage can be expressed without financial impact.

That's not exactly true. BBC's 'Dubai Dreams' is sth like 2005/2006 and one episode includes slave labour.

Its maybe not entirely true, but still generally the case IMO. You really didnt start seeing the mass of articles critical of Dubai until mid-2008 or so.
