Why Their Blogs Sucked!
 * 1) Before being rebranded as FANDOM (as they're known as Wikia back in the day), the site was far more focused on fan-made communities, with its homepage being far easier to navigate. By logging into the FANDOM homepage, however, you will be assaulted with an array of random posts covering various pop-culture news. Even if you use the search function in the "Discover Wikis" section, you'll still be greeted with various blogs, and the search results for wikis are crammed away pathetically in the corner, almost as if the site had forgotten what it's supposed to be.
 * 2) Speaking of blogs, the majority of them are literally Buzzfeed level clickbait garbage. With some more focused on left-wing ideologies than creating content that fans want to read, from blogs complaining how "Soul Caliber VI's" female characters are "a letdown," to blogs defending Battlefield V's historically wrong choice to add women in the frontlines, and to blogs claiming that Yaoi and Yuri are harmful to the LGBT community. These blogs eventually became less common after numerous creative staff members were laid off.
 * Sometimes, these blogs could also be inappropriate. One example is one that had a censored out swear word that was made to promote the horror movie "Happy Death Day 2 U". It appears on the very top of the Featured Pages section on any Wiki you go on. The title had to be changed on some Wikis to a less inappropriate title.
