Her impact is unquestionable. She ended the EDM trend and paved the way for artists like fun., Gotye, Imagine Dragons, Sam Smith, Sia, John Legend, Hozier, Alex Clare, The Lumineers, and the list goes on... They might not be similar to her but they wouldn't have been successful if the music scene hadn't shifted in their favor and it's Adele and only Adele who did that.
Part of me agrees, but at the same time, there were huge hits like Titanium, I Need Your Love, Clarity, Wake Me Up, etc in 2012/2013. Same with others more recently like Blame and Summer.

Titanium is a good song though Wake Me Up also was kinda folky and I Need Your Love wasn't that big
Yes, Adele did end the dance-pop era. She basically made the industry more boring. This year's Grammys were the ultimate example of how basic the industry has become. Singing predictable piano ballads and looking like your average neighbor has become the industry norm. It is sad but this trend will eventually end as well.
Not when We Found GOD happened AFTER RITD and SLY, and then multiple EDM hits happened after that too like WHYB, Clarity, INYL, SN, Blame, Wake Me Up, etc

one or two in heavy rotation is nothing compared to dance-pop song after dance-pop song in 2011-early 2012. the point still stands Top 40 radio is way more diverse now and she played the biggest part in that.
Yes, she did. And I thank her for it. Although I have to say EDM was still being released throughout 2012 and it was already on its way out. But trust, if 21 was Born This Way, we would JUST be getting out the sound.
