"The only reason people make blogs on my wiki is to get the badge"

Hey, my first blog on a Fandom wiki was probably with that intention. And this is exactly the purpose of achivements: to give an extra motivation that has actually nothing to do with the content itself (badges), but that can eventualy inspire real editors in the process. But yeah, the number of the "successful achievers" might be low, just like the number of bold editors in general if compared to the number of those who make a spell check to never come back.

But back to OP question, I was just trying to understand how could this affect the way we see Fandom wiki blogs in general, because I've always understood them as spaces for personal/subjective point of views.

And this is the opposite of what is happening here on CC. Blogs now are threated like articles. The content has no longer that personal side. Admins can now say exctly what is published and what not. Articles 100%. Every potential difference besides that is cosmetic. The core is that blogs have become like articles. Or, in a more conceptual perspective, blogs are no more.

To make it more clear. Let's take a random number: if 1% of the requests will be published, hey! this is not a personal point of view. You're just approving whoever say exactly what you wanna hear.

But OK I understand if you do not answer this, as it's no more a "technical question", but me questioning your way of doing things. See you next time.
