I feel like it's been obvious since Season 4 that Rick and Morty is written for the masses and not the loser superfans who obsess over every little piece of "lore." As long as it can entertain the average joe who tunes in to an episode at random, then the writers have succeeded. They'll throw in the occasional treat for longtime viewers like the odd reference to a past episode or a passing 'parmesan' mention, but that's never their main focus. Neither Harmon nor Roiland have ever implied otherwise, and many here on /co/ need to remember that.
