who the fuck is this dude suggesting major tech company advertising campaigns as a legitimate way for gamefaqs to operate? no one is dumping millions of dollars into gamefaqs advertising, we have always been a niche community and gamefaqs is much harder to monetize than the kinda places that would use that boilerplate tech 'strategy'.

fandom could just not obliterate the loyal community of thousands of daily active users and continue getting traffic via guides like gamefaqs has always done. maybe also bring back contests because there was a time that those drove tons of traffic to the front page

I reckon that the current userbase is not large or profitable enough to sustain the hand that feeds it.
