User blog comment:Brandon Rhea/How we're testing the fandom.com domain migration/@comment-5810007-20181007233941

Yet again another stupid change that shows how out-of-touch the executives of this company are. This is supposed to be a database of information. "Wikia" was perfect. People searching for more information on their favorite show or video game could easily find it through a wiki. Do any of you realize how informal and clickbaity FANDOM sounds? Or was everyone concerned with making this decision too busy trying to cater to the Tumblr, Twitter, and other "hip cool teen social media" websites that actually use the term fandom (and I'm sure they're not thrilled, having their own word being monetized by a huge company). Pretty much nobody asked for these changes, it's an obvious attempt at a cashgrab and I hope it fails.
