we stan wikis moving away from Fandom
What'd they do now? Genuine question
They use ai to generate inaccurate pages, cover up text with egregious ads and refuse to remove content written by dissatisfied, migrating users but mostly just make unusable websites in general (I'm sure there's even more reasons to boycott however)
And before that the majority of their content was scraped from other, well-meaning sources. They just have great SEO, don't mind copy+pasting, and hope that the network effect makes them to de facto source for [insert topic] while serving you ads.
Their website is also extremely laggy with all the boatloads of ads they keep covering their pages with. The ads really got extremely out of control and made the entire website completely unusable for me - at least it's possible to bypass that with BreezeWiki for now...
Did they move to a non-commercial license, or was it like that when they first made the wiki on Wikia/Fandom?
Good for them. When RuneScape migrated, it was quite the headache. The Fandom pages were never taken down, and Google had the Fandom pages rated higher than the RuneScape.wiki pages. So anyone not aware of this just doing a simple Google search would get outdated data, which is a big deal for a game changing as quickly as RuneScape (I played RS3, not OSRS).
Hopefully it's an easier transition for Minecraft.
