ELI5: Why "Community" a show that is evidently beloved by so many ends up getting such low ratings, eventually sent to Yahoo's streaming service and then completely cancelled

I know hardly anything about the show, except a lot of friends love it to death.

Cable companies still use outdated metrics to measure a shows popularity and its tied to how easy it is for them to monetize it, they havent figure out how to squeeze as much money out of streaming services and on demand as they have from live television so people who view shows live at broadcast are disproportionately important to networks when they consider whether to continue funding a show.
