Insiders blab the doomsday signs the reality clan's multibillion-dollar gravy train has run off the rails include slams by critics and fans that their once-popular reality TV series is a boring flop, and their coveted place atop the social media mountain is now an avalanche of failure.
"People have been saying the Kardashians' goose is cooked for years but they've stubbornly defied all expectations," snitches a source.
"This time seems different, though.
"It really appears people are fed up with their act and their vaunted branding engine is finally running out of steam." Sources say proof of the family's diminishing cultural importance is in the loss of their long-held social media crown.
