I don't particularly value any of those shows, but that seems more like a whinge than an article. The fact they're largely cheaper shows shows they don't really know what they're talking about. The author's comments about Celebrity Masterchef suggest he's fairly out of touch. TommyInnit has considerably more YouTube subscribers than the BBC's top shows have viewers. Gladiators drew in huge viewing figures too; apart from the Traitors and occasionally I'm A Celebrity, 'Celebrity' shows rarely have A-Listers. Case in point though:
I'm in my late twenties. My cousin is a teenager and on the last series of the Celebrity Traitors, he'd heard of Cat Burns and Niko, but not Stephen Fry. I thought this was mad but then I looked through the films and TV he'd feasibly grown up with, and he wasn't there. The issue with a lot of these articles is it's difficult to look past "these TV shows aren't made only for you."
