"The community was supposed to have a say over the videos, and again, it's just the process of choosing videos that made these videos generally hated."

No, the videos are just generally hated. It doesn't really matter what the content is. The fact that the content was god awful made it worse, yes, but the main point is that these videos are not wanted.

Even if Wikia were to collaborate with us properly on these videos (which they won't besides talking to "one member of the community" to "review scripts"), it'd change nothing about the fact that they take up the whole of the first part of the page, they autoplay, they play a pre-roll ad, they play unrelated videos (like Game of Thrones spoilers) when they finish playing, and so on. Wikia won't get this right because they want money, you see? People can be hopeful that the feature might improve, but in Wikia's eyes it isn't a feature, it's a way of making money. That's all it is, and until people accept that rather than pretending that they are doing it out of the kindness of their hearts to "improve" pages and make their content better, there are always going to be people that bow down to their every word.

We have more of an open dialogue and understanding from the developers of the game that we represent than the platform we are on. I don't think there's ever going to be a time where Wikia does the right thing and actually fixes things. I don't think there's ever going to be a time where they listen to the community. Unfortunately, that's out of their scope.
