I blame Joe Quesada. He's such an asshole (Sorry, BIONICLE, but I have to say it 'cause he is.) in almost every way. HE was the reason why One More Day/Brand New Day even happened to begin with and why Marvel has been steadily going downhill for more than a decade.

I think another factor into why Marvel has been slowly growing into a mere cash-cow company is that they have a gigantic crossover event once every 3 months. I'll admit, ones like Secret Wars 2015 and (dare I say) The Clone Conspiracy and, hell, Secret Empire are cool because the former 2 do something interesting using older stories as backdrops and the latter gives us a new story for Captain America, but these come to us so often now.
