Generally, the show has moved on from "topic of the week" style shows and more... self-fulfillment for Matt and Trey. Episodes with Warhammer/Red Dead Redemption/Tegridy Farms/putting their kids in episodes. It seems more like they're just doing whatever they personally like now that they don't have to worry about money. I feel like this has kind of made narrative structures fall apart since it's strung together set-pieces of whatever Matt or Trey currently has in mind.
That's really all South Park has ever been. They famously typically write the episodes in just a day each, voice them and put them out in under a week.
Not much time for planning and deep analysis of their plot and subtext - it's just whatever shit's been on Matt & Trey's minds that week.
There was even a documentary about it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6_Days_to_Air
