What the heck? Talk about deceptive practices. I followed the Wikia pages on Facebook & Twitter to get information about Wikia (updates, changes, news, etc). I did not follow them so I could get switched to some weird for-profit fandom thing, or so that your fandom accounts could falsely inflate their numbers by switching them without warning. I was honestly ambivalent and mildly curious about the Fandom project before this, but after the Twitter/Facebook fiasco I am suspicious and feeling slightly hostile about it. I encourage you to make an announcement on both accounts about the switch so that people will be aware of your deception, and be able to choose which accounts they actually want to follow.

And, yes. I went there. I consider this bait and switch to be highly deceitful and questionable behavior, and I am rethinking my participation at Wikia because of it.
