Well, there are both lessons and warnings to be learned from True Blood. There are things that fans have loved about it over the years. But it went downhill nonetheless, and the reasons why were not a mystery. Fans were very vocal about what they disliked (too many characters, too many storylines, storylines ending abruptly in cheesy ways, etc.), but the showrunners forged ahead determined to continue doing what they were doing. Sure, they ended up with seven seasons, but they could have gotten more had they learned to listen. Most seventh season viewers are just watching to see how it ends, not lamenting the lack of an eight season.

Teen Wolf is heading the same way, and possibly sooner. It generally only pulls in 1/3 to 1/2 the viewers True Blood does, and is not airing on a premium channel that people pay extra for. Jeff cannot afford the cavalier attitude he apparently has regarding fans. As LadyX noted, you have to give the fans something. Instead, Jeff is making it very clear that the only things he wants to give are the things he wants to see, and that he doesn't care about the fans. If anything, he resents the fans for daring to question his decisions, the writing quality (e.g. plot holes), the lack of continuity, etc.
