I think rebecca and her team are doing a bad job with the episode's release dates, instead of a hiatus every 5 epsiodes and then a stevenbomb inbetween, i would prefer them to release weekly episodes without stevenbombs, but at least continually
A StevenBomb is usually 5 days of new episodes. These have become a norm for the Steven Universe cartoon, though other shows such as Adventure Time utilize the same format as well.
The release schedule is set by cartoon network, so are the bombs, it is out of the staffs direct control and they have freely shared that info. Don't blame them, blame whoever runs scheduling at CN
