User blog comment:Brandon Rhea/Why Fandom Evolves: A Look Ahead in 2017/@comment-417288-20170112084622

By focusing so much on videos, you are going to drive people away from our Wikis, and TO sites like YouTube, VIVO, and Vimeo. If the video IS the content, why not just go to the original source? Too much change at once puts stress on everyone. I am concerned that technically you may find that the changes you find so "evolutionary" actually make it so that some wikis are simply no longer functional. I am also concerned that Uncyclopedia might be one wiki that may be very adversely affected by the changes, since we have a lot of custom features. My last attempt to try to create a mobile friendly, "Curated Main Page" was an outright failure, and was uglier than if it never existed in the first place (it took some doing, but we finally got it to go away). Not only this, but active members of our site who use mobile to view the site say they have no trouble viewing our site. Nobody uses Reader Mode if they WANT to read text. Reader mode is for Twitter, Snapchat, and Instagram users who have no patience nor attention span. Do we really want to encourage impatience and short attention spans? Especially in those who might be trying to learn how to drive a motor vehicle?
