My dude. This is a corporation rebranding itself. A corporation is allowed to rebrand itself however often it wants. You know before both "Fandom" and "Wikia" this was called "Wikicities"?

They literally own the software these wiki communities are using. The communities use them for free. The company can call it whatever the hell they want.

This is a business, they need to make money from advertisements. We make the content for them, they supply the platform, and the ads pay for everything. Sure ads suck but how the hell is that a surprise?
