What do you mean what happened to it? I watched part of a zelda speedrun out of curiosity and its really long and full of bullshit technical stuff, so I doubt it was ever that popular in the first place

It's "solved." One autistic kid took it so far that they had to start making up new categories just so they could keep watching his autism. Wrong Warp and its consequences have been a disaster for video games.

Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE) happened. Whenever ACE is achieved and can be somewhat reliably used, the game is solved and killed.

New routing and arbitrary code execution poured cold water on the previously most popular categories. Watching Link shuck and jive for 2 minutes and then the credits pop up isn't interesting.

I really hope this whole speedrunning fad dies out. People literally destroy their lives for most useless achievements imaginable instead of I don't know, working at a factory and producing goods.

Any hobby can destroy your life if you're obsessive about it.
