I think the ones voted no didn't understand the question.

Or they could be shills.

Or just contrarians. If you made a poll asking "would you like to live in a world without cancer?", at least one person would vote no simply because they can.

I like it how the poll goes 149 (97.39%) yes / 4 (2.61%) no, and we still go like "wait, this isn't as one sided as it should be, there must be a mistake somewhere".

Oh yeah, this definitely one.
Especially on unanimous polls, there's bound to be one.

However there's a poster here that admitshe voted no for the reason i said.

Being a pain in the ass for the consumers is one thing, but fandom did it so extreme that it even became a pain in the ass for the content creators.

That's the crazy part.
True. Do they expect editors like me to put up with their ever-growing list of changes? The fact that their representatives rely so much on corporate speak to convey certain things doesn't help much at all.

Been noticing a lot of AI-generated webpages coming up when I google for hints in a game. The AI stuff is complete nonsense and it keeps saying completely irrelevant stuff like "this game is known for its incredible playability and visuals," when all you want to know is where some item is. And when the AI gets around to giving its hints, it just makes up complete horseshit.

I only ever end up in Fandom by accident, thinking it's a fextralife wiki for a split second on a Google search, and it's always a bad experience.

Its been like that since before AI though. Lots of pages that spend 90% of the space being ads and links to other shit and 10% maybe actually being relevant information. Its why I often have to add "reddit" to google searches to actually get a direct answer

How did fandom even get so big? I can't think of a single fandom wiki that's actually good.

Wikia got big, rebranded as Fandom and paid for their shit to be sent to the top of Google searches. Not to mention annihilating every wiki they own with pointless, unavoidable bloat and shallower video content than WatchMojo.

The Microsoft strategy.

Fextralife isn't much better.

Lately I'll see him doing his usual shtick in youtube comments for small-time FF youtubers.

He left gamefaqs and took to writing novels on YouTube comments for rpgs.

Most recently saw him in comments on Star Ocean The Second Story R videos.

I see. I remember him being particularly active in the Tales boards back in the day.

More wikis should definitely move away from Fandom.
