Did they replace the writers from season 11?

That is the only season I skip on my eternal rewatching loop for relaxing before bed.

I think 11 would've been a lot better if it had come out in 2021. In 2023 all of the COVID themes were really played out.

Hopefully 12 wasn't written 3 years ago.

That's a weak defense of the season. The thing that made a lot of the classic episodes classics is that they are more or less timeless. If releasing the episode a year or two later means it's not going to land well, then they should be rethinking the writing.

A great example is the iPhone episode. Its a bad episode because the premise was hardly interesting even when it was relevant, and it hasn't aged well at all.

I'm surprised it got another season. I'm not sure if there was any episode I'd call good (or even decent) from season 11. While I've watched the series multiple times, I don't see myself watching this next season.

I know people love Futurama but I sort of blame it for making the Simpsons less good.
