For those looking for reasons why Young Justice ended, here's my take.

I read somewhere that because YJ was so plot-heavy and nearly every episode was essential to understanding the full plot, it was easy to lose interest with younger viewers. Once they miss one or two episodes, they can't understand what is going on, and being kids lose interest in the show. My theory is that if they just included one minute recaps of essential plot points, this wouldn't have been as bad.

As well, we all argue that Young Justice has fans of all ages, and is one CN show that has a larger teen to adult audience. The problem with this being on a network aimed to boys aged 6-11 was that they couldn't get support from advertisements aimed at this older audience because it didn't fit the channels demographic, and advertisers couldn't show older advertisements on a show where kids are still watching.

Just my bit of information.
