Other Redditors commented on it. Basically, there was a change in regulations with regard to children's programming that lead to more live-action, education-oriented shows.

In addition to the legal changes, it was a cost savings measure. Animated shows are expensive, live action educational shows like "Jack Hanah" and similar "critter" based shows were much cheaper to produce. There has also been a shift in entertainment consumption since the 90s. Young males, the target audience for many of these shows, are much more likely to be playing video games on a Saturday morning than watching TV or streaming.

"Ronald McDonald was so hot and sexy and they made him go away because he was a bad influence on children. Yet another thing the left took from us."

Reply to TIL that Al Pacino boycotted the 45th academy awards in 1973, because despite having more screen time than Marlon Brando, he was nominated for best supporting actor and not best actor. by VengefulMight
Pacino lost Best Supporting Actor to Joel Grey for his performance as the MC in "Cabaret", so I doubt most people even remember this happened.
