Yeah, once you've been enriched by some art style, you want more of it to recapture the high. That's what's happening now with /r/hpmor and also with all the nostalgic game kickstarters. I guess that effect is responsible for most art consumption worldwide. Maybe an artist should decide whether they're going for "enrich" or "recapture" (or some combination) and plan accordingly.
