They have been going down since season 4 which has many attributing factors. For starters PLL like to draw things out too thin, we get way too many filler episodes and they killed off a fan-favorite character (Mona) and made the 5 Liars  quite unlikable. But more than that, season 3 was when in 3A rather than focusing on Alison/A it was all about Maya and then slowly they stopped focusing on the plot, the storylines and character growth and got too focused on the love fest. That's why little by little people have stopped tuning in. Each season's premiere and season finale are lower than the last.
