User blog comment:Gcheung28/New sharing options on Wikia/@comment-3582436-20150428234306

To be perfectly frank, these "all-new sharing options" disgust me. Not only does it look hideous, but it seems to have absolutely no purpose whatsoever besides sharing pages that nobody is probably going to bother sharing.

''"Hey, hey, bros, I just found this AWESOME page on randomsite.wikia.com about somethingorother. AWESOME!" 20000 likes''

Yeah...that's never gonna happen.

And it's not just that I'm angry about. The fact that Wikia constantly implements stuff WITHOUT the approval of the overall community outrages me. It also confuses me because any company worth their salt should know that not listening to their customers is a one-way ticket to disaster! So it's kind of a loss-loss situation here. I'll give a few examples:

VisualEditor: Quite a few people disliked this idea. Wikia implemented it anyway.

Venus: Just...what? Thank god Wikia didn't implement this anyway, though I'm pretty sure it wasn't through persuasion.

New "improved" Wikia header: Seriously? It's obtrusive. The old one worked fine. BUT...you guessed it. Wikia implemented it anyway.

This...this...sharing...thing: Just...really? Everyone is getting sick and tired of this constant change WITHOUT input. Wikia implements this anyway.

If it ain't broke, DON'T FIX IT! Improvements are fine, just as long as everyone agrees something needs to be improved! How long are y'all at Wikia gonna take to understand that basic concept?

I apologise if I offended anyone in anyway here. Just my two cents.
