FANDOM has been criticised for digital sharecropping for over a decade. Guess what, people still come on here and make their wikis. FANDOM was created so that wikis could be easily created. What can users really expect for a service they aren't paying a dime for? Total control? What you have listed is a old article, sharecropping is true in terms of the fact that FANDOM treats their users similar to what we see with workers being forced on a plantation, aka slavery and being forced to succumb to their decisions, but just because we don't pay a dime, we are working our own communities for free, and each one needs to be respected with what they think is best for their wiki.

But it is a little too far that the corporate decides every wiki needs to follow into their demands, let Forum 1.0 and 2.0 be a option, and let announcements or highlights be one too, that way people can be happy with what best suits their wiki, we cannot just force a bunch of features no one agrees with into people's mouths.

Lets say we we all had sovereignty for example, do you think having a stronger force make decisions for your own people and exploiting your land going to make them all positive and joyful, you better hope not, so in this case, the community is the one who built their own wiki and FANDOM has no right to say what is best for them or thinking their corporate decisions will benefit them greatly despite that community having to refuse several times. I sent a negative feedback about the highlight and forum retirement and stated that we (as in all wikis) should have both forums and discussions.

That's a win-win deal right there, but Sean basically denied it.

(insult alert!)

Honestly, FANDOM staff needs to get their stuff together and do their job right by making polls/votes on this kind of stuff and let us users vote.

They're retiring the forums since the forums are (basically) not app campatible and are diffcult to use on mobile.

I'm on mobile right now and the forums are perfectly fine. The discussions, on the otherhand, are being diffcult to use as I can't leave comments.
