Regardless of the topic is this not how interest in any such time duration based event works on the human level? Given everything in the world is now perceived as "real-time" most can only consume so much before having no more interest for any such topic. Foregoing listing other time duration based current events here, of which globally there are many, could it also be stated that people are showing 'fatigue' for several other major issues as well? A separate topic which comes to my mind and is applicable to what I stated above is that of cybersecurity.
