Fandom and net neutrality

[(Anonymous)]

What do you think is the future of fandom, if net neutrality does cease to exist?

It's back to zines printed on mimeograph.

Or reheard this sound back?

I could see a return to yahoo groups or whatever else the 'default' allowed internet sites seem to be. More carving out spaces inside others than in independent locations that you have to pay to access.

I wonder if and how the con scene will change. I go to SDCC every year. Will cons get more popular? Less?

Re: Fandom and net neutrality

Every year?? I'm jealous. That must be amazing. I've gone to a local con about four years in a row (though not this past year) and it was beyond great, getting to meet some of my faves, and see others in person at panels and etc. I can only imagine it must be that x1000 at "the big one."

Re: Fandom and net neutrality

AYRT—I live in San Diego (is spreadsheet anon still around? *waves*) and usually end up working the con at least one day as part of my job. My view of it must be pretty skewed since ot’s the only one I’ve ever been to, but even it was measuably smaller when I first started going.

But considering that tickets to SDCC haven’t been sold at the con itself for years, and have to be bought online after a combination raffle/scrum/lottery, how might preferential broadband/ISP speed and slowing, or even deliberate throttling of traffic to the SDCC webportal for the couple of hours the sale takes, affect the con? Blocking sites and messing with competing ISP traffic would both be allowed without net neutrality.

Hell, imagine a specific ISP strikes a deal with whoever runs the SDCC site so they can promise their customers faster and better access specifically to the SDCC webportal. Then spin that out into only getting, idk, Ticketmaster to work without freezing if you have Verizon or Time Warner but not Comcast. I wonder what counts more heavily with my reps, snail mail or phone calls. Sigh.

I think fandom is a dying breed, anyway. Nearly all of my favorite things have fandoms I can't stand, fandoms that don't seem to exist much, or both.

Re: Fandom and net neutrality

The only real change is that we'll all be poorer.
