It's not just about using personal CSS to block it, I've been doing that with a bunch of Wikia's new meh "features"; it's the fact that readers will be driven away from the site. They'll click a link to get information on a subject and they'll be greeted by a few annoying, large ads and a poorly-made video that autoplays (again, with ads), then they'll scroll down a bit before Wikia starts shoving its unrelated Fandom articles (because I totally care about the top 5 LGBT couples in "Fandom" when I'm reading an article on the Dragon Ball Wiki) straight into the viewer's face. It looks super unprofessional and alienates newer viewers.
