This is consistent with my idea (which I've long had) that there was yet another quality drop around the time they switched to HD. The episodes from the 2000s are mostly still perfectly watchable IMHO, the ones from the 2010s much less so and I don't think I've ever watched a Simpsons episode from the 2020s, so can't say anything about that.
Last year a started watching from the beginning and watched until I found that I pretty consistently did not enjoy the episodes. I agree with your assessment. The last episode that I watched was from '13 or '14.
I am slightly worried by anti-vaxxers being Simpsons fans. Do they understand what they are watching?
Are they audience ratings? If so the episode quality is probably even lower towards the end as some audiences will have dropped out so you're only including the data of folk who stuck with it.
Wouldn't the earlier seasons have aired before rotten tomatoes existed so they don't include the earlier audience?
The chart is accurate, the falloff after season 9 is quite noticeable.
I can't watch modern Simpsons. I'm sure there are really good episodes out there, but I just can't listen to Marge's voice anymore.
Nice self-own, Frankie.
