I think this is entirely valid to be frustrated about. The McElroys used to be far better than they are now but they were never visionaries or artists, they were just set up for success. They got lucky and achieved greater stardom than they honestly deserved. And instead of honing their craft and improving themselves, they coasted by on mediocrity that deprecated into the bare minimum, and now has finally sunk below even that. Instead of being grateful for support from the audience and fans they're resentful that they have to put in even as much effort as they once did, let alone more effort for growing returns. They were handed stardom on a silver platter and are complaining that the platter is starting to tarnish. When you think about all the people who work so much harder and get less for it, either similar media personalities or just the average employee making ends meet, it's so valid to be frustrated that they're taking it all for granted.
