Jodeci killed R&B.
Yeah, I said it. What? They were dope and talented but you can trace back all the modern buffoonery to this four piece who blended hip hop with R&B and polluted the stream. That said:
All that follows has to up the ante in order to stimulate the receptors of those fatigued by what they've seen and we end up with what we've got because singers didn't want to be seen as "soft".

Here’s a dope ass new R&B song where the woman is supporting her man and letting him know she has his back 100%. Now will anyone listen to it? No. They’ll just be more complaints about modern women and songs like this not existing

Chris Brown destroyed R&B
R&B singers used to have buttoned up shirts, then Chris Brown shows up claiming piru on twitter and trying to be a gangsta.
That's when shyt turned sideways
No more buttoned up shirts

Who would you say was more influential? BBD or Jodeci when it came to setting that trend off on a huge scale? If you want to keep it a hundred it was B Brown that bought the Bad Boy of R&B wave in and everyone rode his coat tails but he used it primarily as an image thing and could still create genuine R&B content as well as his hip hop influenced hits.
Nowadays we've got rapping ass singers and singing ass rappers as the two distinct genres blended into one monstrosity with no clear demarcation. Jodeci in many respects were the pinnacle of the hybrid trend as they gave you the best of both worlds but everything in the present can be traced back to what we were listening to back then as the devolution is an evolution, in some sense.
On the flip you could argue they were products of that 1993 effect we've spoken of previously at length and thus reflected changing tastes in the market. It is what it is but no one did it on their level before them and thus they wield influence.
Karyn White sang a song about a man treating her like a sex object, yet she still made that man a hearty breakfast.
