      These guys are already so super rich, I just don’t see the point of beating your beloved creation into the ground ruining it’s legacy but it’s not my business I guess.

        Because they enjoy doing it. Look at the number of musical performers who keep going long after their cultural moment has passed. Hell I know people who keep playing and writing and painting even though no has ever paid attention.

          I suppose, they just have been doing it so long that it didn’t seem like an art anymore, but it still is commercial as it may be. I would just be supremely bored but they are obviously not so good for them. I make music mostly for myself as well nowadays.

            Bob Dylan won the Nobel Prize for literature. There are a lot of albums of his I’d consider unlistenable. I don’t think he cares what I think. He doesn’t care what the Nobel committee thinks either since he didn’t show up.

              His lyrics have always been on point though, sure I think that’s generally true of most musicians, at least successful ones, to listen to your muse and not care. Or any artist for that matter. I suppose in my mind I am separating what I feel is a overrated cartoon from other art we’re talking about. That’s just my opinion. Bob Dylan also cared about things, the whole I’m so cool I don’t care about anything crap is so old, and lazy.

        Thei did have an entire season saying “#cancelsouthpark” every episode. They say in interviews that they don’t take it seriously but people keep paying so they will keep making whatever they want

        Sure, but it’s too little too late.

        The main ethos of South Park is “if you care about something you’re a loser”. Which is fine if you are a show that airs when things are, generally speaking, going well. The moment serious issues entered the picture, whether climate change or 9/11 and GWOT, they fell flat on their face.

        And it took them twenty years to get up.

        And that is why they are legacy losers.
