As I said elsewhere earlier, watch the Connorsseur YouTube video "Fandom has a censorship problem" to get an illustrated example why.
I did because of that post, thanks for that. Even if only for that video making me aware of the wiki.gg extension that automatically redirects me away from their awful wikis if I not happen to notice when clicking on them.
And yeah, a lot of what that video discusses seems eerily similar to what Fandom is doing here. Changing policies with vague rules or even unstated rules, barely engaging with communities, ads getting worse and worse every second,... Their entire MO is buying up sites with user generated content and then gutting them, acting like it's in the best interest of those communities while clearly not giving a single shit about any of em.
Even when some of their employees clearly sympathize with the community they're assigned to and try to actively engage them, it's obvious their hands are tied and Fandom will continue gutting everything.
They're a blight on the thing they named themselves after. It's time they just came right out and said it, change their logo to "Fandom, fuck the fans"
