There's nothing in the Terms of Use about owning wikis, period.

There's a line about "obscene, pornographic, abusive, offensive, profane, or otherwise violates any law or right of any third party, or content that contains homophobia, ethnic slurs, religious intolerance, or encourages criminal conduct" which managed to be broad and vague and interpreted at the whim of staff. IIRC, Crappy Games wasn't shut down because it was "criticism", but because it was unbridled dislike that spiraled down into a vicious circlejerk of toxicity. Which is something its users might not see, but ad sellers do. And ads keep the light on. Positivity sells better than negativity. Fandom cut their losses, which in this case were pretty minimal.

Shit what you want on the adpocalypse, but whining about it is about as unconstructive as the "criticism" of Crappy Games and its ilk was.
