Not burn through interests every few weeks.

I feel like these days a lot of people aren't actually into fandoms so much as they are the attention and validation they get from being in a popular fandom, and that's why they jump from fandom/interest to fandom/interest every few weeks like a squirrel on speed.

I agree entirely! I think a lot of it is the validation, and I think the other half of it is the way media is set up to be consumed these days is like, inherently trying to keep you from holding onto something long term. Shows get released all at once, there's so many one off seasonal anime I couldn't count them if I tried, not to mention TikTok's entire platform. It's exhausting! I really don't know how the kids these days do it.

Mmhm. I could really do without the people who want fandom to be their personal vehicle to an arts career or a business, and run around trying to drum up followers.

But IMO, media has always been set up to be consumed in a way that pressures people to move on quick and implies that there's something wrong with them if they don't. Fandom just used to be full of people who were defying that expectation.
