- big-green-man 2y agoThey don't share ownership of anything. The owners do whatever they want, then lip service the fandom after the fact, and the fandom takes it because they can't cut loose from their attachment. A die hard fan that won't drop something the minute it begins to be destroyed is a sucker for abuse, and their willingness to look past it afterwards is why the owners get away with it. And they'll do it again.
- throwpoaster 2y agoIf the fans stop paying attention it dies. The power to destroy something is ownership.
