I wonder. Is the the stuff they think people like, or the stuff they want to MAKE people like?

It started out as the former and for a little while was the latter.

Now they don’t care if you like it for not. The ESG investors are funding these companies through “investment” (subsidies) and these investors get the money directly from the Fed.

Yep. It all started with The Simpsons. Not to say the Simpsons is (was?) this specific kind of "adult cartoon", but it was the first of its generation to appeal to people other than kids and it gave Seth MacFarlane the idea of "what if simpsons but edgier". And then someone copied him, and someone copied that person, and so forth. So now what we have is a bunch of identical, exaggerated Simpsons homunculi where someone thinks they're being clever because they made a cartoon say "fuck".

Around the time of Big Mouth, they just stopped caring and are making things purely for money laundering purposes. It's no coincidence that a bunch of pedophiles chose a show about pedophilia to let everyone know that they no longer need an audience.

Considering Married ... With Children and The Tracey Ullman Show debuted at the same time on the same fledgling network (Fox), the latter and The Simpsons just kind of complemented one another in making fun of all the smarmy family sitcoms that we'd had since the 1950s, from The Beaver and Ozzie and Harriet up to Silver Spoons and Full House.

Yeah, when Fox was the youthful, edgy network (I watched their stuff via CityTV, Canada's "edgy" "youth" network that stopped being good when Mark Daley was demoted to "token white".)

Its what a handful of nepotistic big names want to make, and because they are big names they keep convincing out of touch producers to fund it.

Like, Hollywood and the entire "comedy scene" thinks Sarah Silverman is popular and famous so she keeps getting main character jobs, but she has not once been anything above bottom tier in terms of actual performance.
