I don't seem to run into a lot of Hollow Knight fans around here yet so I popped over to the HK community on that other website. Confirm: this video is one of the top trending on YouTube today lol. I figured, mossbag is...shall we say a very well-known figure in the community, if you're not in the know.

I absolutely still rely on the wiki for HK shit I can't remember like boss HP scaling and where tf was that last item I need for that one upgrade god dammit?? Glad to see them move to somewhere independent. Will donate.

I used to have the app, but that was ad galore. Now when I browse it, usually for some book series, with firefox and some ad blockers, it's perfectly fine to read and browse. So I don't really get the hate, but that might be because I don't usually browse it for new content, but as a reference for finished series, like the wheel of time.

Saw this yesterday. Great video that informed me on something I was completely oblivious to. Fuck fandom

Another comment without watching so I might be repeating something in the video, but did they mention how poor bloated the site is? I was trying to use the Forgotten Realms wiki and after a few tabs it would grind my browser to a halt. For something that really just needs to be serving text and a few images it's wild how badly the site performs.

Yah. Fandom is an Adblock-required site. And even then it's pretty hard to browse.

I only use it for WoWpedia, because it has a lot of information from years ago. I still remember when they added so many unnecessary interface elements and the website became slower. Luckily, I found https://userstyles.world/style/5722/clean-fandom-wiki, which made it usable again.

The wow wiki has recently moved to wiki gg and they ported everything over so definitely Check it out!
