Pretty please never link fandom

I didn't even know I was on the fandom wiki until the other commenter pointed it out. What's wrong with fandom?

Hoo boy, where do I begin?

  • Fandom pages are incredibly obnoxious with how many ads they load, making them bloated and difficult to read for profit
  • Fandom bought Gamepedia and FORCED all the Gamepedia wikis to switch to the Fandom format, which has a bunch of ugly UI shit literally nobody likes or uses
  • Fandom tries to impede any attempt by users to migrate to a better hosting service, banning anyone it sees as promoting alternative wiki sites

TL;DR: it's basically Enshittification: the Company.
