I get what you mean but there's almost 6,000 exoplanets in NASA's catalog so one imagines it isn't as huge of a deal to find a new one as it would have been when say, Hubble was new. To that end it presumably happens often enough that you wouldn't get the meme's scenario of a 50 year career vet getting all spiteful because a kid beat him to the punch.
