Topic	Fandom bans politics on GameFAQs (outside of Current Events)
XIII_Rocks 04/16/24 4:28:09 PM #236:	Yesmar_ posted... Reading between the lines, I'm not sure the endgame for Fandom is eliminating the site, but rather eliminating us the users. They want a younger, "hipper," crowd, and they think that if they can "reorient" the site to be all about gaming they can do that. None of their recent changes will do that of course, since none of the boards where people discuss politics are visible to new users, but this was probably some order from a sales/management person that doesn't understand how the boards work. They just told someone to remove politics and this was the compromise result. People are trying to get a "why" out of DToast in that second Feedback topic, but he didn't come up with this idea and he didn't want it, so he's not going to be able to provide anything. The reason why Fandom doesn't care about us ultimately isn't because they don't care about their customers (although I'm sure it's some of that.) It's that they don't even see us as customers. That's about right Reading that Tim post reminded me of the European Super League rhetoric from a couple of years back. Older users are being treated like "legacy fans" were when the ESL was first presented https://www.football365.com/news/european-super-league-liverpool-manchester-united-legacy-fans So yes Fandom is broadly equivalent to the most grotesque attempt to disassemble a sport in my lifetime - nice job --- Not to be confused with XIII_Minerals. <cite>XIII_Rocks posted [p:979944521] in Fandom ban...
