I don't think that NOLA tourism is out of hand at all. Sure, some of the famous places get lines, but its definitely not "out of hand" as places like Venice or Amsterdam are.
Maybe I remember going to some fun places as a tourist in the past but don't remember the horrific crowds. It's not exclusive to New Orleans, but almost every tourist attraction seems to have gotten much more crowded in the past 7-10 years.
I went to a particular Mardi Gras celebration in New Roads last year for the first time in 20 years. This little town used to draw maybe 20,000 or 30,000 people in the 1980s and 1990s. The crowds that it draws today are easily 3-4x as large. Those little streets and relatively short parade routes were never intended to support a crowd of 100,000 and move them in and out efficiently.

The world has gotten smaller. The people living in extreme poverty in the world has dropped by 100k people every day since 1990.
More and more people travel around the world, and social media has people going to most of the same places again and again.
The aforementioned Amsterdam and Venice are having to start taking extreme measures to limit tourism because they cannot handle it.
Go to Rome, its insanity. Go to Paris and the Louvre...nutsville.
