I think you answered your own question: the Bat-embargo. Still, I remember that the latter seasons were met with better appreciation. Also, back then there were no social networks. Now, it's like there's some sort of brainwashing going on. As if enough people keep repeating how great the show is (especially the cast and crew) others will start believing it. Or at least they think, "well, the show is meh, but if so many people say it's so great, then maybe it's just me." Obviously something is working.
