Regular Cartoons > Web Cartoons?

This is biased but I just cannot watch most web cartoons. I try to watch some like Helluva Boss or Hazbin Hotel, but they all come off as so pretentious and the comedy doesn't really impress me either they're all kinda lackluster. Especially with web cartoons nowadays, they try too hard to seem like a good show that it kinda ruins it for me. I have many reasons why I perfer regular network cartoons over web cartoons, but what are y'alls opinion on this matter?

the helluva boss pilot had so much promise and i assumed it was going to be a comedy about imps going on random missions each episode (like a sitcom) but it seems like they have just went in a completely different direction?? (so i've heard). the hazbin pilot was okay but it wasn't my sort of thing. "skibidi toilet" is joked about as a web cartoon and it somehow has so many damn views, but again, i am not interested.

indie animation CAN be quite neat tho, we see a lot of 'pilots' but never hear word of them being fully produced. eddsworld is a web cartoon, right? i watched a few episodes almost a decade ago (mostly forgotten in my head now) and it's generally seen as good. bee and puppycat was also a web cartoon i believe. Hellbenders was funny, although the creators failed to get it greenlit by adult swim. then there's Hotdiggedydemon's work, which is animated really well (edgy humour though, if that's not your sort of thing)

HOWEVER, have you heard of Lackadaisy? i know it started as a web comic but i've been hearing good things about the pilot and apparently they raised enough to fully animate it? i think?? i personally haven't checked it out yet but what i've heard sounds promising. There is also a youtuber named RebelTaxi who is trying to produce a cartoon 'LokiIRL'.

Overall 'regular cartoons' simply have bigger and richer studios behind them. but even so, there are some tv cartoons which aren't enjoyable to watch either, and shows that go on for way longer than they should (not naming but you can guess which). streaming services like netflix open doors to smaller studios to put their cartoons out there. i guess it depends on the people behind the cartoons really, there are good and bad cartoons from both the internet and actual studios

I don't think this is a hot take. This just a normal take. Only people who live on the internet would potentially say otherwise. 

Don't get me wrong, TV's fallen out of fashion but people who watch stuff on Netflix vs people who watch webseries are very different groups and the former largely outweighs the latter... for good reason.
