Nowadays, animation can be seen everywhere from TV shows, to movies, to web series. It is becoming increasingly difficult to make good animations that will last long. When you have all these sources of animation a lot of it becomes considered disposable, or just made to please the audience for a bit and then forgotten. The works of Walt Disney or Hannah-Barbara are still remembered to this day, they have had a long lasting appeal and are considered timeless. Most works of today are not seen as high enough quality to reach the same level as the timeless cartoons of the past, and may not be remembered in the future.
There's a lot of bias going on here... For one, animators nowadays are not all lazy, they take time in their projects (mostly) to produce quality animations for the audience to enjoy. The article makes it sound like on the internet there are no quality web series that people put all their time and heart into to make something that will be remembered in the annals of animation. Independent animators DO put in a lot of effort, the problem mainly is that they don't have the money and experienced workers that companies like Disney have. And whose to say that current internet animations won't be remembered in the future? There are some web series like Bravest Warriors that have a large fan base, especially fans of Adventure Time.
