@Tupka217  I feel like Sheldon the TV Show "Big Bang Theory" :  "Sarcasm? RIght ? " (^D ...

@Botuczy Nothing dystopian: Wikia Inc is a "for profit" corporation so it seeks to maximize its potentatial while aleinating as little of their Current User Base as possible. Read somewhere it was initially created to be a cash cow for a "free" Wikipedia, don't know if that still applies since Investment Firms got involved at a later stage. IMO It's only  matter of time for it to formally absorbed by one of the GAFA player as it positions itself as the "Google of  Fan-based Wikis"

P.S. Upon a few minute of research it appears Amazon jumped on the Wikia bandwagon very early and is probably the GAFA in the best position to absorb it when the opportunity rises.
