Pibby never woulda worked out anyway unless it was the pet project of one of the IP hoarders like Disney or something, and you know they wouldn't want to scare kids out of buying merch of their characters.
It's just that trying to run a show like this without being owned by one of those IP hoarders, you'd either have to make up parodies of all these characters, or you'd have to contact (and pay) all the companies that own those IPs for the rights to use them, and that'd be a lot of rejections and/or money.
I think the show could still do okay if it was simply a generic "cute shit gets corrupted" thing, but even that would probably require several different animation studios to work on it at once (or just have one really versatile one) to avoid the risk of making all the different "shows" in the show be too samey.
I mean, come on, "cute shit actually being violent/spooky" is one of the cornerstones of the internet and probably will be for millennia, it's not that hard to imagine a Pibby-style show existing.
