Interesting that you make this comparison, because I get the terrible feeling that Friendship is Magic has grown so massive, the flaws with the fandom (Rule 34, Cupcakes) are in the process of being magnified to the point of being inescapable and show-ruining. The final straw will come from former hardcore-bronies saying bad things about it. By 2023, almost no one will admit to actually liking Friendship is Magic at its peak, and the only references to it will be jokes about how awful it was.
I know, that's exactly what happened to Disco, and though this is on a smaller scale, I feel like the whole internet is going to tire of ponies soon to the point of saying SHUT THE F*CK UP!!!!!! to anyone who even mentions the show. That's a real shame too because this show is too good for this treatment. This isn't like Pogs or New Kids on the Block which didn't deserve any sort of popularity in the first place.
I am really, really, REALLY hoping this isn't happening.
