Why It Sucks Now

 * 1) Since the start of their downfall, Nickelodeon has been introducing some bad and mediocre shows, with one of the earliest examples being Fanboy & Chum Chum. Some of their ongoing shows have declined in quality as well, like The Fairly OddParents.
 * 2) The sense of humor in their shows these days has gotten immature.
 * 3) * Not Even Big Nate was safe from having a lot of gross-out humor, which is something that its source material didn't always resort to.
 * 4) They keep milking SpongeBob SquarePants and The Loud House, and mistreat shows that don't do as well as SpongeBob, usually by dumping their last episodes on the Nicktoons channel.
 * 5) Despite firing Chris Savino and John Kricfalusi from The Loud House and Ren and Stimpy (for sexual harrassment allegations in the former case and repeatedly missing deadlines and being unpleasant to work with in the latter case, though John K. was also hit by sexual harrassment allegations several months after Savino), they brought back Butch Hartman for The Fairly OddParents reboot, Fairly Odder, ignoring the controversy he's caused in recent years, such as the OAXIS scam, profiting off of traced art, mocking the suicide of Mary Kay Bergman, homophobia, and believing autism is a disease that needs to be cured.
 * 6) They are okay with keeping controversial voice actors like Grey DeLisle-Griffin and Billy West voicing their Nick characters such as Billy with Ren & Stimpy, despite their current behavior now, with the former doing crimes like using her son Tex Hammond for wishing death on old white people, supporting KickVic, defending D.C. Douglas (who is a sexual predator), thinks sexual harassment and rape are funny, celebrating Greg Abbott getting COVID, cheating her first ex-husband Christopher DeLisle, being a pedophile to a minor Twitter user, manipulated Cree Summer and Kevin Conroy to believe Vic Mignogna is a bad person and wanting masturbate to a prayingmantis eating Donald Trump and the latter defending and sharing misformation about how Ivermectin "can cure" COVID and making a tasteless joke about Rush Limbaugh passing away (like other voice actors and actresses who also hated Rush Limbaugh doing the same thing of making fun of Rush's death), making Billy not being better than John K. in terms of spreading and defending false information of COVID and making a terrible joke about Rush's death (even for a very known autistic celebrity that Billy West is), while unlike Billy, John fortunately did not defend false COVID cures on social media or did tasteless jokes about people passing away. And yet, Nickelodeon and even Grey and Billy's fans are not aware about their current egostical behavior, mainly on social media.
 * 7) While their current logo introduced in 2009 isn't that bad, it lacks the charm and uniqueness that the splat logo had.
 * 8) Interestingly, it was introduced at the start of Nick's downfall, which makes it a perfect representation of how Nick isn't what it used to be.
 * 9) Two words: Cyma Zarghami. Not only her time as a president of Nickelodeon was the worst, but also she mistreated C.H. Greenblatt (the creator of Harvey Beaks), by forcing him to apologize for calling out Nick for mistreating his show and Micah Wright (the creator of the rejected pilot Constant Payne), by blacklisting him and other pro-union writers and rejecting Constant Payne, because she thinks that it would teach terrorism to children.
 * 10) They stole a fanmade SpongeBob background for a commercial and even went as far as to remove the original artists signature, showing that this was no accident. This is quite ironic, since Nick's parent company, Paramount, is infamous for sending numerous false copyright claims on YouTube.
 * 11) * Another one is that they used a Pooh's Adventures fan-edit poster of The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie in one of their shows, The Substitute (although it was an accident since it was later fixed), making it another hypocrisy at best.
 * 12) In August 2022, it was revealed that they gave iCarly actor Jennette McCurdy $300K to not publicly discuss her uncomfortable experiences on the set. Some of these experiences included being photographed in a bikini and being forced to drink alcohol, which happened when she was underage.
 * 13) In 2022, they started doing NFTs, which are bad for the environment, as they contribute to global warming.
 * 14) Just like Sega, it's ironic of Nick to do NFTs, since SpongeBob has had environmental messages, including global warming. Not to mention, SpongeBob's creator, Stephen Hillenburg, was a marine biologist.
