NAYRT but is that free marketing? It's not like the panels and booths and actors who go to cons are going for free? The companies are paying to have them there in order to hype up fans for releases.

ayrt

I'm speaking more to the fans themselves(who will pay to go to the con, buy merch, then share that content, which may lead possibly "finding new customers" aka new fans, who will then promote the material and the content -- again, nothing new, but seemingly more prolific because of the way fandom is shared now.

I think about it like this -- I come to this site. I literally had no interest in the MCU franchise, but a fanwork (a user here had a cute icon of Bucky -- I was intrigued and easily swayed by a good looking man) convinced me to go out and watch the movie(s). Knowing how much I liked that particular franchise, my brother went out and got me a Cap shirt. I then continued to invest in the franchise. Fandom advertised (inadvertently, or perhaps by the very nature of fandom itself -- you want to share and be excited about something you like, no harm or shame in that) a work that I was unfamiliar with. And then I go out and see it with friends.

I continue to say that this is nothing new, because this is the very nature of fandom, or a recommendation. Quite often, however, fandom isn't necessarily recommending itself outside of its bubble -- if I don't explore the Dragon Age fandom, I am not likely to encounter it and invest in it. However, because I did come into contact with a particular fandom through (a minor) fanwork (an icon). I don't know if I'm making sense. But yeah.
