To answer the question in the thread, as someone who used to watch practically every kids show growing up, imo Disney wasn't even that great to begin with. They had a handful of good shows (mostly during the later half of the 2000s) like Suite Life, That's So Raven, Kim Possible, Phil of the Future, Hannah Montana. All of their other shows were either meh or awful (the cartoons were the pits; the only good ones I remember were Gargoyles and Proud Family). Nick and CN had a stronger and more consistent portfolio of shows imo during the late 90s and 2000s (and even this decade I guess).

But yeah, that person is right. Disney learned to capitalize on marketing a teen idol to kids in a way Nick never learned (Ariana is really the first breakthrough teen idol from that channel while Disney had Miley, Selena, Demi, Ashley, Vanessa and others). I guess the reason they go "bad" is because they themselves want to break free from this family-friendly image or because we (as the audience) impose that image on them and complain when they grow up and act like adults.
