I feel like there's something about streaming and quick consumption to be said here

IME it depends entirely on the canons and fandoms themselves - I have plenty of fandoms from the early 2000s that have been dead as a doornail for years, that's hardly a new or even recent thing. Some of them have experienced brief revivals when the canon got a sequel/supplemental canon/a remake and then died back down again and some of them got those things but NEVER had any real revival to speak of and just remained permanently dead. It really seems to be the luck of the cards which fandoms will persist for ages and which ones won't.

Thanks for turning my comment into a secret, OP! Good image choice.

All my really long-running fandoms are huge canons that get new installments. Short canons seem to just vanish these days, which is disappointing. I'd say part of it is the Netflix model where you have to binge watch just to be in the discussions, but there's traditionally released (series, books or one and done movies) fandoms treated the same way.

My oldest fandom is 40 years old and my second oldest is 34. Both are still going strongly.

Some things just stick.

Star Wars is almost 50.
Star Trek is almost 60.
Sherlock Holmes is over 130.

Yes, they've all had a lot of newer canon material since their original runs, but there's obviously an appetite for it.

This is also true for sweaters or jeans purchased during those years.

Temu fandom. Sorry everything sucks now!

I feel like this is a byproduct of society becoming more dependent on the internet to make connections, but with giant capitalistic companies running a lot of internet culture, fandom communities don't quite last like they used to.

Some fandoms tend to be faster lived. But I've got into one of my fandoms I think in 2018. I am not in it actively anymore but it still goes strong.
My recent have been active for around a year or so

It sounds as if the whole concdpt of "fandom" is going the way of the dinosaurs. Either that, or there are way too many shiny-object fandoms out there to choose from...
