Comment on The Minecraft wiki has been moved from Fandom to Minecraft.wiki
stevedidwhat_infosec@infosec.pub 1 year agoMay I ask how this website is any different from every other website that crams ads down your throat?
I mean for ffs, twitch bakes them into the streams now. YouTubers do their own ads in their videos. Don’t even get me started on social media sites.
If Twitter wasn’t a cesspool you better believe Elon would’ve packed that mother fucker to the brim with ads.

Fandom isn’t a social media platform. All these others are (at least for the most part).

I’m not arguing that tho. Im not arguing what makes random different from social media sites.
For example news sites are also littered with ads. Porn sites, littered with ads. Blog sites, littered with ads.
Google searches even come up with search result ads.
It’s everywhere man, I’m just arguing that fandom is no worse than anywhere else. But yes, switching to respectful amounts of ads or none at all if possible is preferable to what fandom is right now. My original comment is just pointing out that I don’t really think anyone actually cares that much about this stuff, and that I personally dont like all these negative echo chambers everywhere. Everyone’s obviously valid in venting and what not, but I figured I’d point out my viewpoint too while we’re at it 🤷🏻♂️
