if you hit ip limit: turn wifi router off/on, switch shortly to airplane mode and back, use mobile data or try a different browser/the app.
also stream YET TO COME on MAMA's Spotify playlist 1x per day per acc and the GRAMMY NOMINATED MV on Youtube!
it gets embarrassing really. yes, the others get help from other fandoms and cheat by using vpn, but considering what a huge fandom we are, this constant struggle and that we can't widen the gap more than 30k before it starts decreasing again, is embarrassing. period.

Thereâs something that I fundamentally donât understand about Article 13.
It doesnât simply protect copyrighted content, it will also absolutely impact the bottom line of these big businesses too. This is how I see it.
 Hereâs my current fandom:
How did I get into Kingsman? Was it because I saw a trailer for it on TV and thought, âHey, I should see that.â
Nope. It was via online fandom content almost two years after Kingsman: The Secret Service was released. I never wouldâve given it the time of day if not for gifsets and fanfic that I saw and read before Iâd even seen the movie. But I saw those things first, so the movie then caught my interest, and I watched it. Legally. I ended up purchasing movie tickets for the sequel, I bought the movies on Blu-ray, I bought some official Kingsman merchandise (donât judge me), and I even spent a little money on one of the official Kingsman mobile games (like 20 dolla, and Iâm not proud of it).Â
I spend a significant part of my online time interacting in the orbit of the Kingsman fandom. I look forward to the third movie (the actual third movie, not this weird prequel thingâŚugh). I will actively spend money on the movie and probably some official merchandise when itâs released too. I also have an interest in the actors from the movie and legally seek out their other work (even Robin Hood, haaaa). Meaning I intend to SPEND MONEY on things related to Kingsman because fandom content keeps my interest going long beyond its official release. Fandom content is often what will catch my interest in the first place.
My fandom before Kingsman?
When I got into Marvel/Captain America, how do you think that happened?
Did I see trailers before other movies? TV commercials? Was it because of people I knew in real life who enjoyed it? Nope. I rarely see any promotional material for things because I donât normally take in content in the traditional way (the same as most other Millennials and Gen Z, Iâd wager). I knew of them, obviously, because theyâre insanely popular. But I didnât give a shit.
I didnât give a lick about Marvel and it wasnât until I saw some fan commentary and gifsets on Tumblr/in fan spaces of Captain America: The Winter Soldier that I was like, âOooh, this sounds interesting. I need to watch this.â
And I watched it. Legally. And I bought it. Legally. And I went out and legally watched everything else Marvel. I bought legal/licensed Marvel merchandise. I bought Marvel comics, ffs. Do you think I cared about comics before that? At this point, Iâve probably spent a good few hundred dollars on Marvel related content. Probably closer to $1000 than $100. And thatâs mild compared to some people!Â
Do you think I wouldâve done any of that if I hadnât first seen fan created content that technically uses copyrighted material?
I sure the fuck would not. I wouldâve gone on not caring about it at all.
My point is, Article 13 is so fucking short-sighted. Fandom and creative content made by people not associated with these businesses often makes or breaks that content. How many people do you think got into Marvel the same way I did? How many millions of dollars have people spent on Marvel related merchandise because fandom content fostered their interest way beyond âSee it in the movie theatre, then go home and forget about it?âÂ
Hereâs another example for the other end of the spectrum:
Avatar. The James Cameron movie. It made $2.7 billion at the box office worldwide. Thatâs nice. But does anyone really give a shit about it? Iâve never seen it. Donât have any desire to see it or the supposed upcoming sequels. The only online content I see about it? Mocks it. There is no fandom.Â
To compare fandoms on Ao3:
No one gives a shit. No one is looking for Avatar. Maybe the sequels will do well, Iâm not a psychic. I have no idea. But my point is, there is no longevity there. No one is looking for official Avatar merchandise. No one is creating works about it that keeps interest going years after it was released. And continued interest means continued profit.
So Avatar did really, really well at the box office. Exceptionally well. And then?
Are people buying Avatar clothing? Books? Mugs, tchotchkes, spending thousands of dollars to meet the cast and creators at conventions? Special editions of the movies? Collectorâs items?
Google âAvatar popâ and what do you think comes up? Pop! figures for the Avatar movie? Nope. There arenât any. Are there Pop! figures for Avatar: The Last Airbender, which has a healthy online fandom presence? Yep.
Supernatural is an excellent example as well. A small show on a struggling network. Isnât it on season 247 at this point? What do you think helped it last as long as it has? All that sweet network promo? The A-List status of its stars (hahahaha)?Â
HAAAAA! NO! Itâs the fucking fan content! All the fanvids, fanfic, artwork, gifsets, commentary, discussions, meta, and beyond. All those creations get seen by hundreds, thousands of people who may have never heard of it before. But itâs that kind of content that sparks an interest. If youâre in that fandom, think of the coolest piece of art (or the best fanfic), thatâs what inspires people to seek something out. Thatâs what cultivates an interest for years, including purchasing god knows what for god knows how much money. Terribly photoshopped ~official~ promo pictures and a couple commercials ainât gonna do it.Â
Does the below image make me go âLOL WHAT? wats happening? wats going on? wat is this????â
Ya. Dark, morbid, funny. Sounds interestingâŚ
Does the below official image make me go, âOooh, gotta watch whatever that is!â
It sure the fuck does not. Sorry Jensen Ackles, youâre good looking and all, but nah. Canât say I have any interest in whatever that is. WHY ARE YOU IN A CAGE? WHAT IS THAT CHAIN FOR? help me iâm scared
ANYWAY. Which content style above is going to inspire and cultivate enough of a longterm interest that people are willing to buy board games, clothing, jewelry, DVD sets, magazines, go to conventions, buy god knows what else, and spread the word about the show? For over a decade? It ainât the second picture, I can tell you that much.
Fan content creates new fans and cultivates longterm interest which earns big businesses more money.
That is one of many reasons why Article 13 is shit. For fan content creators and for big business. Itâs not a threat to the big business bottom line, itâs free promotion.Â
