Aye, those are some fair points. And you're right. If someone likes something, a lot, they're rarely going to get completely burned out on it. Or at least not enough to abandon it completely, generally.
And while I thought I'd been arguing in good faith, I admit I may not have been aware of my own clouded bias. Just because I don't really dig a lot of those earlier Western films doesn't mean that a lot of other people with perfectly good taste couldn't.
I do think that there can be at least some degree of genre fatigue though, but it's probably something that has to be especially over-saturated to cause any kind of significant audience "burnout". Usually, the average person just naturally addresses such things by changing things up with their own variety in what kind of media they partake in.
Not so easy of course when leftists have done everything they can to turn things to shit.
I can see it existing as a function of something being forced. Becoming tired of movies because they're all propaganda.
Which is an angle I hadn't thought of until this last comment you made.
In that case I think it's more a saturation point of something bad, a bit of lead in a well might be survivable for a moment, but long term the quantity you'll tolerate drops lower and lower.
But I think that's different from "Oh everybody loved it too long now they stopped" for something with consistent quality.
