There are still producers making good Dubstep and that will continue.

Depends if you're arsed who likes it. I am not.

Although, if people like Skrillex are seeing mainstream success from his interpretation of Dubstep i.e. shit then other producers will be tempted to change their style and copy his sound to see the same success, and that is bad for Dubstep.

The exact same thing happens in Grime. A decade ago all the young MC's were influenced by Dizzee and Wiley, now they're being influenced by the wrong guys and the sound has changed for the worse. It's better for the genre if people are being influenced by Mala, Loefah etc than Skrillex.
I completely agree with this. I definitely think artists will be inspired by other artists that are more accessable and well known but in saying that there will always be great music being produced you just have to research until you find it.
