I'm used to being in specific fandoms for years. This idea - that something has to be binged within so many months or it's a flop, that fandom is a flash in the pan and you should move on when the next three month show comes along - is so fucking awful. I hate it.

Yeah, it really sucks. A lot less long-term engagement than there used to be, and I feel like that's what used to make fandom fun, the fact you'd all be hanging around for years developing the space.

I miss the feeling of community and long-term interests that much of fandom used to have.

I don't see how the two things are mutually exclusive, though? I too tend to be into specific fandoms for years, but I also consume tons of media that I never end up in the fandoms for for whatever reasons.

Like, just over the past six months, I've probably watched twelve different shows but only got into the fandom for one of them. That doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the other eleven, it just means I wasn't interested in fandom for them.

People have started dropping a fandom as soon as the show is no longer in the public eye for streaming, or on air for broadcast. Because this is the way they think it works, mirroring what they've seen with streaming services (if it isn't completely watched in huge numbers by the end of the second month, it's cancelled). I recently heard someone actually say that they were sad that the show was over, cause now the fandom would be dead.

(Sometimes I can still hear fandoms voice...)

I wouldn't call that new - there have always been plenty of those people in fandom, who are into a thing only as long as it's airing and then move on to something else when it's done. I've been in fandom since the 90s and I distinctly recall always feeling bummed when my favorite shows ended because I knew that would mean much less fic and art.

On the Japanese side of fandom, back before the days of Pixiv and Twitter there were a lot of fanartists who would flat-out just delete all of their art from an "old" fandom once the show finished and they moved on to a new fandom.

AYRT

I've been in fandom since the 90s as well, and that hasn't been my experience at all. All of my fandoms have gone on very strong for years after the end of whatever piece of media it was. It wasn't until about five to ten years ago that I started seeing my fandoms die once a show stopped. I'm currently active in three fandoms at the moment. Two aired on tv and they're both years (4 & 10) past the end and still going strong. One was a streaming show just over a year old and is starting to lose steam.
