As many of you are probably already aware, Wikia now has a new rail that appears to users who are not logged in, which I can only call the "You May Also Like" rail since that is the title that appears. If you have been following my recent complaints regarding many of Wikia's new features, you can probably guess that I am not too thrilled about this. I do not know if this rail appears to users who don't use ad-blocking software, but I can only guess that it does. The reason why I HATE this new rail is because it reminds me of other ways that the media attempts to "poison" people's minds, such as the extremely gratuitous and worthless People Magazine. I don't care about Snooky's Etsy store, what person in their right mind would? Clearly this new rail is tailoring "news" articles for idiots. While Wikia is not directly aiming to annoy me with this, I have to admit that I am personally offended that Wikia thinks they can treat me this way.

It is here that I announce that I am done writing anything new on Wikia, that is of course unless this rail is removed and not replaced by something else. It is also here that I want to say a serious non-scarcastic "thank you" to Wikia for making the site what it used to be when I started using it. Back in 2012 through early 2014, Wikia was a positive experience for me, even with the ads. It helped me to practice my writing skills and share my ideas with the web (what little of it actually looks at what I write. But with all of the recent changes that have been made to Wikia, I realize that I have outgrown Wikia and must move on.
