I like some of the reality porn, but it's like anything. In the hands of someone clever it can be good, in the hands of half wits it can be tedious. Once it becomes popular there are a million copycats. When the matrix came out everyone did wire fighting, when Blair Witch came out every dumb shit tried using the shaky handheld camera thing. Sites like Bang Bus and Midnight Prowl used to be somewhat "legit" (anything filmed, even documentaries, are never completely legit), hell Midnight Prowl actually got into some serious legal trouble, and as soon as they got popular everyone copied them. It could swing back around to more production value centered stuff, but unlike a feature film it doesn't cost $100million to get the moneyshot. It's basically porn for the ADD generation.
Oh, and if anyone wants to defend "realistic" movies, arthouse movies, or student film - I went to film school and we were all pretentious douches, and all of our work was terrible.
