I watched Teen Titans (the original) growing up, Courage the Cowardly Dog, shows like that, all which existed around the same time period, and all which got pretty loving dark. I'm not saying that everyone should strive to make deep and meaningful cartoons, but you're going to hinder your cartoon's potential if you're only going to target young kids, and you're going to kill your channel if you air that stuff 24/7 like they are now.
That being said, if you're going to do deep and meaningful material, it needs a soft landing. That's why shows like Steven Universe, Adventure Time, Avatar, and even shows for older audiences like Bojack Horseman are so loved; they establish the characters through all the fun stuff that the kids like and that's gut-bustingly hilarious, and then they make you care about them by raising the stakes. It's a lot better to show character arcs, too; would Aang have undergone as amazing as a transformation as he did if he didn't come out of the iceberg wanting to go penguin-sledding?
IDK. I hate this lazy attitude of "it's kids, they don't care". "So what if the show is vapid, forgettable garbage? It's for kids!" You don't hear people say that when it comes to school lunches or child safety procedures. What gives?

fair enough. either way cn is getting something out of it, regardless of quality. its like saying roblox is stuff, at the same time ignoring the fact that it makes far more money than BL and has opportunities for addon developers to make money off of it, even if its at the expense of kids. it may not be morally good but unfortunately business-wise it works.
muh modern society, rip

I'm surprised you were able to make that connection and I wasn't, considering I'm very vocal on the bullstuff ROBLOX is doing, too.
I'm genuinely stunned as to how this kind of behavior makes money. Must be the culture. rip
