Personally I think there can be other factors at play here, such as: a constant and oversaturated flow of shows via streaming platforms; the possibility to watch the Simpsons online at any time; a much higher amount of other content to watch online such as YouTube and Twitch.

I think, even if you still loved the show as much as you did back in the early days, the viewership would have declined all the same.

Yeah for sure that stuff has played a part. But also maybe the quality of the show has just declined too, those can both be true. idk why we have to be so afraid of criticizing things, disliking modern simpsons has hardly been controversial until right now apparently

I'm mostly questioning that there is a new audience for the simpsons. I don't think there is. I think it's only vestiges of an old audience.
