The biggest [reason for leaving] is [Fandom's] increasingly aggressive use of ads, which is something us editors do not generally think about as the majority of ads are hidden when logged in. But given that 60%+ of our viewers (and a similar stat on many other Fandom wikis) are logged-out mobile visitors, the concern for advertising being aggressive and intrusive is not one we should take with a grain of salt. It is terrible.
To put that into context, Instagram and industry average engagement rates are two percent to four percent, so the fact that this was 18 is phenomenal.

Advertisers increasingly demand verification providers demonstrate concrete performance improvements from premium placements rather than simply protecting against brand safety risks.
Media buying refers to the process of purchasing advertising space across various platforms, including social media, search engines, and traditional media. It's about strategically placing ads where they will reach the target audience effectively.
The joint venture is now operational and in talks with major advertisers. Together, Hasbro and Animaj say their digital networks generate more than 50 billion views per year on YouTube alone.

YouTube continues to vacuum up digital advertising dollars, mostly at the expense of traditional TV ad budgets, notching its biggest-ever ad sales number to date for the fourth quarter of 2025.
