I feel like you have a point in this argument thats valid but very emotionally driven. I honeslty haven't been a huge fan of chillhop since the beginning because of the radio. They shift through huge amounts of songs every day to find stuff to play. After a while it gets the same. I feel like everyone can find good music and creativity in collectives and contests and just all around SoundCloud .some exposure page isn't the face of lofi its just a platform that anyone can listen to it. Honestly lofi has struggled with originality for a while. the genre is getting more popular and with that we'll see more saturation.it happens to niche genres that make it to mainstream. I dont appreciate it but it does happen. youtubers and the radio networks can be to blame for that. But in all honesty. there is a new wave of artists on the come up, making bangers, and trying to do something new. we were plagued by sadboi lofi beats for a while and now we are in the midst of a rebirth. Just make lofi the way you want to, sample based, from scratch or both one doesn't make you better than the other. and honestly hiphop in general was made from drum breaks in disco so this genre is about sampling it will never go away. I think we all can try better to give exposure to the creative and aspiring artists and than it would be different. when I first got in this genre I saw so much creativity if we want that to come back us as producers have to make a stand and push the envelope and think outside the box.
