I don't think trixie was even in that season much, also to be fair didn't even know s5 did that badly? I feel Poof was the true "Litmus Test" for fans as it was when a lot of people tend to say they lost interest. Also let's be real around s5 was when Nick got in their heads if it wasn't doing spongebob numbers it's bad
Again I still tend to say it's on Butch, he has shown by himself he really can't writer or make a concept well. I think more than anything based on stories from others he alienates or vetos any good ideas or depth for more episodic basicness or samesie stuff. I do think Tootie or Chester getting fairies would have been way more interesting than adding chloe and yeah he must have hated those characters as chester and aj just stopped appearing in the last two seasons I believe. Also again nick is weird as they more cancelled Fop from what I remembered because the timmy jimmy power hour didn't do as good as they thought so they also cancelled jimmy as well. So more than anything it was more like i said the "you aren't doing spongebob numbers i.e bad".
Also they did still give him another season meaning fans definitely wanted more though honestly jimmy timmy being the soft finale for both shows would have been the best route. I feel like nothing of true interest was gained from the poof season, and s5 was the last "good" season but started the self timmy flanderization lowkey.

Probably the latter, as I feel like so many people do video essays and fanart and fics on those characters. I think more than anything it was less them and more how the show kept getting more and more flanderized and making the mc more unlikeable. I said it before but we sometimes forget because of how he is a borderline sociopath in later seasons but timmy is a really good or well meaning kid in the earlier series usually taking the shit end of the stick for others. Like the tootie ep, the chester ep etc, he usually feels bad about his selfishness
