Why doesn't someone simply start another social network platform only for the discussion of fandom? All fandom. Something that has the ability to carry one conversations but the ability to spread those conversations as well as other fandom related things like cosplay photos, fanart and fan songs and fan videos easily like tumblr?

The person who makes that one stop for fans would make a mint.

[(Anonymous)]

People wouldn't pay for it. They might make enough in ads to stay functioning (assuming the ads didn't drive people away), but there would be no mint.

The thing about fandom social network platforms is that you can't be sure it'll work (that's the thing about nearly all social network, I think). Technically, fandom on Facebook can carry conversations and share stuff easily, but fandom isn't a huge presence on Facebook. And maybe lots of discussion isn't actually what most of fandom wants, and that's why most of fandom is now on Tumblr (regrettably).

Yeah, plus, corporations have been trying to make themselves the Next Big Thing for years. You really can't predict how the hivemind will go.

Text: I’m mostly fine with fandom moving to Tumblr… But I really miss the rating communities and Tumblr’s formatting doesn’t seem to support them.

(Arrow pointing toward the drawing.) Especially this one.

[terabient]

I never quite understood how rating communities worked.... /o\ Would anyone mind explaining it to me?

[(Anonymous)]

You left a link to your blog and asked some total stranger to rate it.

I have no idea why anyone would want to do this. Well, I suppose those who rated the blogs got some kind of misguided sense of superiority from judging others.

I am completely indifferent to the fact that rating communities died out. They were more baffling than anything else.

[(Anonymous)]

OP: Oh, nono, I didn't mean those rating blogs, I meant the ones when you fill in a bunch of questions about yourself, and people vote on which character you're the most like.

[(Anonymous)]

Ignore anon above. Rating communities are where you'd fill out a personality description as a post to the community, and people in the comments would use that to tell you which character you're most like (personality-wise). Then a mod would tally up the votes and give you a stamp saying you're most like character X.

It's basically like an internet personality quiz but crowdsourced.
