It's because Cartoon Network the reason they air it so frequently is because of this; There are more little kids home during the week (between 8-3) that watch silly shows like teen titans go (that rhymes). They wouldn't be interested in shows with stories like adventure time, transformers or Steven universe, many kids don't like nostalgic shorts like looney tunes, and most little kids hate shows that millennium kids used to watch like kids next door. So they play teens Titans go to get viewers. Most big kids come home at 3- and that's what time they show shows like Steven or adventure time. They have so many episodes that they need to air them eventually. It takes a long time to usually make a tv episode. 9 months at the most. So they make multiple episodes at the same time. And teen titans go a show that has a 52 episode order they make a season (besides animation) in like a year. Same goes for Steven universe. When we were watching giant woman they were probably finishing jail break and when we were watching jail break they were probably finishing log date. More little kids watch CN than big kids. A lot of big kids don't watch television nowadays because they have stuff like Netflix and Hulu. The fandoms for Steven and adventure time are pretty huge but they aren't big. The little kids who don't have access to stuff like Netflix and Hulu often watch Cartoon Network. Cartoon Network needs it to compete against nick. Nick has a lot of silly shows like breadwinners that attract viewers and have been pulling up in ratings. Cartoon Network needs more episodes. Cartoon Network wants you to be mad about hiatus. It means that you will continue waiting for a new episode. Steven universe the first season even though it established a lot was mostly filler episodes like Frybo and garnet's universe. The new season has more of a storyline and more characters and plot lines and more viewers. So to pull in more money, they prolong an 11 minute episode. They also have a commitment to dc comics. The two are owned by the same company and they have to constantly show it to 1. Promote dc and 2. Make money. They also go off of critic reviews. Like for instance you could have a movie that's just as good and critically great as citizen Kane but no viewer likes it. So long as it gets accolades Cartoon Network can rub it in your face.

Sorry it's long but the hiatus is killing me too! True,  though sadly Hulu doesn't have all the episodes of Steven universe(last time I checked, at least. They only had up to Jailbreak). They should, soon, and should put the episodes up after they air like other shows.

They have the episodes now up to joy ride. But the point of it is to get people who haven't seen the show interested in it. By showing the first season and a few episodes of the new season it helps to get them interested. Plus it could be for contract reasons that they can only put up certain episodes. Like adventure time as the show continues they add new episodes. As the series continues to air they'll put more episodes, but i don't know when they will put up the rest. They just can't put them all up because the season or the mid season isn't over yet

Steven does however air unlike normal shows. Hiatus is a normal thing.
