Gatekeep against those who wish to "make it bigger." They are enemies in disguise.
Gatekeeping isn't just about making a hobby "bigger" but also stopping certain types of people with interest in what the hobby from participating within it. That's what gatekeeping actually is.
Gatekeeping won't prevent the commercialization of your favorite hobby. It will however push out a bunch of people the in-group doesn't like - and more often than not, the people that those in-groups don't like are women, people of color, etc.
So no, gatekeeping isn't good. But weirdos like to pretend it's good because they don't understand who and what actually threatens what they like.
