The writer aren't fully responsible even.

Actually, it was the story editors' and the quality control staff's job to surpervise it.

I heard they have a process of approving scripts, etc. as well.

So it's a bit weird, how this episode was approved as a concept and was executed this way. Maybe they were in a rush, because didn't meet some deadline.

There are obvious objective problems there: Pinkie valuing a random new hobby so much she's ready to leave her friends and home behind? And being so oblivious of how her hobby was making ponies feel (those ponies she always tried to make smile)? And that's in season 8?... Plus, the rest of the Main 6 said right things only in the end of the episode, but at the beginning their advice/request to Pinkie was very surprising to hear, coming from good friends.

The whole concept and execution felt really off... And the actual writer has little to do with it, because this writer wasn't with the show for all past years to learn the characters and dynamics enough... But the people in quality control and editors are actually more responsible.

So yeah... I'm guessing some deadline problems in production, which forced the staff to just approve this episode as it is.
