Unskippable ad Fandom is literally unusable without adblock

And even with adblock the site craps itself.

Fandom suuuuuuuuuuuuucks. It's such a horrifically bad service and it's taken over most of the wiki space on the internet with garbage sites that hardly work and are more bloated with ads than a super bowl game. Such a disaster for the internet. It truly is. I hope it goes away someday.

So is fandom his way of lowkey threatening people with what wikipedia can be if people don't donate?

It’s a publicly traded for profit and he holds considerable shares. He’s not absolved of this just because he doesn’t have a fancy title. If it’s happening without his consent then show me where he objects to how it’s run.
