Pushback only matters if it has the same weight as real or perceived revenue from the big-ass video ads. At least Nukapedia is high on WAM, which Fandom really cares about. If video ads start driving down your WAM score, they might listen, but I don't see it happening too much.

These video ads mostly affect anons, right? Maybe you could poll a big chunk of anons to see what they think. If it isn't overwhelmingly negative, you're not going to have much leverage. Fandom is showing more and more how they don't care as much about feedback from actual registered users, because they don't have the volume that matters to advertisers, even though without them, there would be no quality content to drive visits.
