I can't help but feel that these recent updates have been undermining administrators' control over the wikias they moderate. Recently, updates have been rolled out like the community page, which is largely uneditable and puts many words in each wikia administration's mouths. Now, with the announcement of this update, I see a new feature will be added no matter whether it will detriment the structure of an individual community, a feature that cannot be disabled and will be replacing a core part of the wikia structure.

To be frank, I feel that Wikia has strayed from its initial purpose of hosting and serving wiki communities. I think it's become something much more corporate in these past few years, caring increasingly less about the opinions of its users in its attempt to become even more mainstream-social-media-like.
