You have the sort of OT fans which are like level 5 Simpsons fans who only consume seasons 1–9 and everything else is inferior (joking). Then you have people like to go on into further in seasons like 15 etc (Prequels) and then you have everything after that which some people obviously still enjoy the show or are coming back after so many years because it was getting some praise again.

I know you might be able to apply this to other fan bases, but this one just seemed closer.

I personally dip in and out, there have been some decent ones lately.

I don't know what to tell you, there's an obvious steep decline in quality in the Simpsons after the first couple seasons.

This isn't some random thing one person said and everyone bandwagons, there's a general concensus of a golden era for the Simpsons.

that does not mean you cannot enjoy what comes after. it's just not the same show.

things for me that I don't like about the Simpsons is the excessive celebrity appearances, I would keep going but it's futile because people have different reasons to like / dislike something.

Going to have to disagree with you there. Some of the later stuff is just aggressively bad and anyone who likes it is a bad person.

I can’t deny the quality, there was definitely a decline but I feel as if it’s slowly finding its footing again, it’ll never be the earlier seasons but I accept that but yeah the celebrity stuff is too much for me

I've watched every episode of The Simpsons and every Star Wars film and TV show.

Which kind of fan am I?

Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
