Actually, there's a couple things going on.
First, for the overwhelming majority of these shows, they don't get a "second season". What people are actually getting is the
second half of the originally planned first season. Previously, shows would get anywhere from 12-26 episodes because it fit right within the seasonal time frame on television. These shows (
Velma,
Tomboy Lois,
TT Looniveristy,
Hazbin Hotel,
Invincible, etc.) have seasons that are 10 or less episodes. Even successful ones (
Primal,
Smiling Friends,
Unicorn) follow this format. And we can see shows like
SW: Bad Batch get the proper treatment of 16 episodes per season. So, no,
Velma is not getting a second season, it's just the latter half of season one.
Second, these shows are not getting subsequent seasons because they're successful. Ignoring the previous point and assuming that the show actually was getting a "proper" second season, all claims about the shows being a "success" go out the window the moment we see announcements of these series
ALREADY GETTING another season anywhere from a week to a month before the show even airs. This happened with
Velma. This happened with
Tomboy Lois. And this happened with nu
Animaniacs. Meanwhile decent and acclaimed shows like
Villainous are still in limbo three years later over whether or not the series is going to continue.
So with this being the case, why do they keep releasing shows that no one likes nor watches? It's for the purposes of demoralization. If they convince people that they're "only ones" who don't like the show, then that keeps people isolated and afraid from speaking out.
