Yes, because every time I visit a carefully laid-out page on a busy wiki, I always think "You know what this page really needs? A video that takes up the entire screen and scrolls down with you while autoplaying so that Fandom can count it as a view even though I won't engage with it in anyway and think it was a dumb idea in the first place."

Bottom line, it's a weird idea. Here's a thought: if it really is as good an idea as the staff says it is, why not put it up to a democratic vote? That's how Wikis operated for years when it came to lay-out changes, but the fact that Fandom doesn't do that is clearly indicative of the fact that they know users won't like it, and that it's just a way for them to make more money.
