csolisr,

Did they move to a non-commercial license, or was it like that when they first made the wiki on Wikia/Fandom?

funnystuff97,

we stan wikis moving away from Fandom

Decoy321,

What’d they do now? Genuine question

Kttnpunk,

They use ai to generate inaccurate pages, cover up text with egregious ads and refuse to remove content written by dissatisfied, migrating users but mostly just make unusable websites in general (I’m sure there’s even more reasons to boycott however)

ZOSTED,

And before that the majority of their content was scraped from other, well-meaning sources. They just have great SEO, don’t mind copy+pasting, and hope that the network effect makes them to de facto source for [insert topic] while serving you ads.

Their website is also extremely laggy with all the boatloads of ads they keep covering their pages with. The ads really got extremely out of control and made the entire website completely unusable for me - at least it’s possible to bypass that with BreezeWiki for now…

Fandom sites are maybe the most ad-ridden pages on the entire internet.

nottheengineer,

I never noticed, ublock origin seems to be doing its job.

jayandp,

Pretty much the only way to make Fandom wikis legible.

ZOSTED,

If anyone wonders what cyberpunk wikipedia would look like, point them to fandom
