Polyamory isn't going mainstream anytime soon, and Based on the poly people I have met, they'll be far quicker to judge everyone else for not being Poly than the other way around. You know like how new atheists called everyone stupid for not being exactly like them and then wondered why people were sick of them and decided it was oppression? I suspect it will be that again.
I've got nothing against Poly relationships, but I feel like most people already have enough trouble dealing with only one other romantic partner. A 4 person polycule has 6 different individual relationships within itself, and I feel like that would have way too much potential for messiness for me to feel comfortable in.
The vast majority of poly relationships I've seen have basically just gone "two people who are intensely in love with each other but also one or both want to sleep around -> one of them gets replaced in emotional importance by someone new -> the replaced party ends up deeply hurt that someone they love doesn't give a shit about them anymore." It's happened to friends of mine, it happened to my ex before we started dating, and then she did it to me in turn. In fact, I've only ever seen one long-term stable polycule and even having barely any contact with them all I see is the ridiculous amount of effort they all put in to maintain that relationship with one another.
