Here's the reality: every single week millions of people around the world still watch.

I've seen every single damned episode of the show like, multiple times.

So yeah, when you go online, you will see people say "hey, the recent seasons are pretty good". Hell, I'd consider the last season above median in quality. But like, I happily watched season 13, season 22, etc, etc.

Outside of a few offensively bad episodes like Lisa Goes Gaga, I'd happily watch an episode of post season 20 Simpsons over at least 70% of the sitcoms on tv today. And I religiously watch sitcoms, I watch them all the time.
