> fan wikis have almost all consolidated onto the ad riden, unreadable monstrosity that is fandom

Minecraft, GTA, League of Legends, Valorant, Overwatch, Fortnite, Warframe and RuneScape (OSRS too) all moved off Fandom because they started forcing ads even harder. They're now hosted by a nonprofit that takes money from Riot to host their official wikis and uses it to pay for the rest.

I said “almost all,” that should be sufficient. Fandom is massive and has heavily centralized wikis on one garbage platform, yes?

I really don’t want to do that thing where I have to couch every single statement I make with parentheticals and qualifiers explaining the exact meaning and making sure to add a dozen “not” and “to be clear” statements in anticipation of this kind of response.
