Basically, once she'd served her purpose in the show, they shoved her at the Barn because having her become a permanent core member of the group would upset the status quo too much. Also more money for more VAs.

But the REAL killer is now the show has just stopped caring about Peridot. Peridot was HUGE back in season 2, but as soon as she served her purpose, she was forgotten, paired up with Lapis, made INSEPARABLE from Lapis, and her character hollowed out till it was nothing more than a source of dank memes. Season 4 had no respect for her character, and "The New Crystal Gems" showcased perfectly how she's now essentially just a flanderised baby.

Crewniverse, I have so much respect for you and everything you do and this show, but it has to be said, the way you handled Peridot post-barn-arc was awful.
