User blog comment:Brandon Rhea/Wiki Video Types and How You Can Create Them/@comment-5645428-20170421144021

The evolution of media in the past decade has inclined a change in the forms of communication that people find most appealing and most convenient. With time, these things will stagnate, bore, and outright irritate. Today, videos as described here are popular among modern media outlets and allows them to communicate even the tiniest of details like never before.

I believe we are rising to, or already sitting atop a bell curve. It represents the mediums of audio/visual media with direct communication, high impact and extensive detailing. I predict we will soon fall downwards on this curve as people start to feel overwhelmed by the abundance of content being pressed upon us from absolutely everywhere, if they are not already feeling so. People will tire of the effort put into communicating information, and will prefer simple messages that convey meaning concisely and with minimal impact.

Fandom, the company, will evolve in such a way that will alienate longtime contributors who have accustomed themselves to traditions and find it hard to deviate. Written content will never die, though. It is simple, and that attributes it as prevalent and long lasting where I believe this video era will not last so long. Both mediums have advantages, and why choosing either over the other would not be intelligent decision-making, And so Fandom taking this approach, one that is mainstream and fashionable today, is by no means a poor decision. It is simply one along the company's timeline that made practical sense when it occurred.
