Because they were all souless hipster trash. These were the cartoons that were labelled "Tumblr" for loud obnoxious women with colored hair or people who live in a Twitter bubble.

Real cartoons like >>150371754 chowder went completely ignored while having actual hand drawn animation that didn't look like software was doing most of the work. Those four cartoons are genuinely the kind of trash that should have been on Disney Channel. Not even Nickelodeon at its peak would have ran garbage like that.

Americanisation has only started the last couple of decades.
If you did the one drop rule, you'd find very little muttification compared to, well, mutts. There are more actors pretending to race mix on adverts than there are people who do it, and those that do are the most likely to raise furbabies, plants, or believe it's evil to bring children into the world because anti-natalism. Also they're almost exclusively immigrants themselves, such as female Poles in Britain being the biggest (Afro) racemixing group.

Regular show feels a bit unique cause it's an adult cast introducing a mostly child-audience to a wagie lifestyle within a framework of a saturday morning cartoon of fighting fantastical beings. Yeah both the MCs are basically manchildren, and we all make fun of how much mordecai sucks as love, but the main setting of the show appeals so much to a more adolescence to adult demographic, that it's hard to picture it slotting along side shows with children MC facing over-the-top challenges.
And in a sense, it was one of the last connection the CN channel has with an 13+ to adult demographic. Once the show ended, and TT Go kept filling remaining slots of dying shows, what justification does an 13+ audience have to watching a mostly pre-teen animated channel? They all have streaming services to join now.
I'm not blaming TT Go for the exodus, but I can't blame anyone for leaving when all their TV slots is 75% TT go or we bare bears: babies/Mighty Magiswords/whatever.
It's Gumball that has to bring back any remaining adult viewers now.

It was all a pretense to get CN execs complacent. Rebecca Sugar would've died if that's what it took to get LGBT shit in a kids' show.

>>150371754
I was 10 when this show premiered and even back then I was frustrated at how much I loved the style and the artwork but hated the title character. I don’t know how different my opinion would be now but I just found Flapjack too irritating to watch the show more.
Mind you, I loved Chowder and didn’t find him annoying despite him also being annoying.

Renaissance? It was the beginning of the end.
AT should had ended at season 3.
Regular show was more teen / young adult oriented.

Steven Universe did an immense amount of damage to CN and animation in general but its LGBT shielding prevents it from being publicly panned for:
Going nowhere, having shitty characters, being gay as fuck and its complete lack of humor and wit.
>But le hecking depression and aneurotypical genderfluid characters
Pandering to trannies and childless fags was a bold move for a channel that SELLS TOYS TO CHILDREN.

For the longest time, I didn't even know how Regular Show ended, or what the last few seasons was like.
Back in my days, the early 2010s:
>stopped watching cable around 2013-15 to go on youtube full time, with occasional late night reruns.
>had the strongest memory up to S4 where they introduced a new hire in the season intro Exit 9B. Everything after that was a blur. Watched some specials or the movie now and there.
>still sad to read about the ending of the shows, and see every character moved on with their lives, in headlines.
>was fine with not finishing the entire show, but still had fond memories of RS and wanting to revisit it someday.
>initial impression was that Rigby was mostly the biggest asshole that kept tricking Mordecai into pushing their luck about a magical device or dragging out a lie, even though both of them are manchildren slacking off their day job. Benson was mean but still somewhat sympathetic from how much Mor and Rig sucked at working.

Fast forward to present day, learning more about the later seasons:
>Mordecai kept embarrassing himself more and more than he was in the first few seasons. Some people kept making fun of him to this day.
>Rigby ultimately redeemed himself, but people kept using that to make fun of mordicai more, even though they were both assholes to each other.
>knowing Benson was alcoholic, which was not hard to tell since it's SFW hot sauce, but didn't know how bad it was.
>Surprised to learn somehow an entire season took place entire in space, except most of the time they still kept doing park shit anyway. (when a show goes to space, writers are out of ideas, even though show itself is full of 70s/80s sci-fi influences)
>Main final arc was about a side character confronting an evil version of himself, not rare for most shows, but it wasn't as fulfilling as a villain from the early seasons, and it felt like a late addition character, even with foreshadowings.

What? No, I mean the last connecting link between the 2010s pre-streaming and post-cable generations of CN viewers that already moved on from CN as a channel to only following individual TV shows only.
Gumball is the last few shows that continues in mostly its original form (new studios and VAs and all), while new regular show and Adventure time/Fionna cake would have to go on as new incarnations instead, aiming for new generations of teens/adults.

>there was zero hype
Wasn't it more due to how CN and Ben kept trying to stretch that hype beyond its breaking point? Gumball's panel at 2024's Annecy Festival had garnered more attention than S7's actual release - there WAS hype back then, especially with Ben going on and on about how at long last we will get to see how the Void actually works and what it spells for Gumball's world... but then virtually nothing had been shown for a full year - and when first half of all the episodes had been released, it turned out that the conclusion to all the void lore and Rob's fate will be crammed into a single episode that's meant as this season's finale. Ben kept overselling his show's triumphant return, only for it to reemerge out of CN's drawers as a fairly generic and lukewarm piece of Gumball media.
