pll's quality also declined, just like tw's. that's why i stopped watching both shows. and it was never said that the show's quality was the only reason for that decline, i absolutely agree that audiences aren't watching live tv as much anymore, but maybe if there were more development in  writing, characters, relationships, friendships, and most of the cast (recurring or main, i don't care - they were fan favorites) hadn't left, for the reasons i cited, leaving a huge gap on the plot - that contributed to the lack of quality, the audience would've stayed loyal. as it is, casual viewers can't keep up with the changes, hence the ratings.
