Well Smiling Friends is a newer show for one, but the main problem with Rick and Morty is that its production very quickly grew more corporate once all its original writers left and needed replacing. Dan Harmon is notoriously egotistical and pretentious, so you can imagine the new people he hires and mentors wouldn't be able to replicate what made his and Roiland's show become popular initially.

So while it seems SF will stay written by just Zach Hadel & Michael Cusack, RaM has a revolving door of new writers desperately trying and failing to keep fans engaged with ambitious new ideas while also keeping Harmon appeased with his "show that will never end." It's a tough balancing act when fans are expecting payoff to various plot threads but your boss just wants you to pump out infinite ideas with no ending in sight.
