This is definitely a problem. We're going on almost four years of FT8 and the forums are still dripping with contempt for most digital modes and FT8 specifically.
At the end of the day, analog modes aren't going anywhere and the old curmudgeons have no administrative power to prevent people from using newer modes and otherwise enjoying the available bandwidth as defined by the regulations.
This is a hobby. There are a few constraints on what you can do with it due to licensing and that's about it. Whatever happens is fine be it cranking CW out on a one tube transmitter on 80m, pushing the envelope on digital modes on 134 GHz or talking about tomatoes on a local 2m repeater. That is choice.
What is important is we stop pissing on each other's interests and longevity and trying to restrict choice. It builds resentment and that resentment is loud and destructive.
At the time I did my full license, in 2018, there was a large interest in "old modes" because it's an escape from daily complexity in technical professions.
No individual should be burdened by the interests of another, thought there is a very vocal group that wants to complain about the interests of others. As I see it, it's safe to disregard the views of this group if your views don't align with theirs.
Recipe for success for me is staying away from clubs, 80m and QRZ.com :)
There are some clubs in the CO front range that are pretty progressive though. I just don't have the time to go to meetings right now.
Many hams find contesting traffic to be a nuisance.
It's much like the early days of the internet when people would tail -f /var/log/http/access.log and keep track of how many countries contacted their webserver.
At least there's not a js8call which gasp actually allows keyboard to keyboard chat. Even allows relaying through a 3rd party as well as async communications through a storage and forward process.
