Fandom is kill
>I only like MLP because other people like MLP
Thank fucking God. Cancer can go to other autistic fountains.

>Fandom is kill
Anon, that "fandom is kill" is still more active and well known than any recent big hit.
Currently we are "Dr Who" or "Star Trek" level in terms of people interest and awareness.
And our fandom is still one of the most active in terms of dedicated content creators, surpassing vast majority of the mainstream by a landslide.
The bandwagon of 2012 has stopped, but the ride did not.

>The ride ending
>Ever
the weak are being weeded out
>viewership down
>con attendance almost entirely the same
What's happening?
Yeah ok doom paulevery year it's the same shit
>>27866775
The bandwagoners are finally leaving.
>>27866775
>viewership down
It never considered the number of people that watch it outside of TV (literally everybody who isn't in America). Viewership is irrelevant
>>27866652
>tfw you realize the movie might actually be the end
>>27866652
>Im so worried about the future that im missing the present.
Feels like we recently had a ponk song about that. Did you learn nothing?
>>27866775
The show lost quality, bandwagoners are gone, everyone watches the show online because Discovery Family is ass and the con attendance isn't down by much. Bronycon had horrible scheduling this year, being caught between two large cons.
>>27866735
>Currently we are Doctor Who level
No
>>27866763
This. Every haitus my pone dong grows stronger all the while others losing their buzz.
>>27866815
>No
yes
>>27866836
>>27866815
Can confirm doctor who is dying worse than pone due to uninteresting casting and writing choices
>tfw mlp is going back to being a comfy, niche show without an overgrown fandom full of annoying spergs and mindless bandwagoneers
>wikipedia
Google and Wikipedia searches can't be used to gauge the activity of a fandom because fans are not going to use these to since they already have knowledge of the show and can directly go to a site.
The way to measure the activity of the fandom is to look at the amount of content being created.
>>27866835
Well said.
2012 was the peak of the fandom
It's all downhill from now on
>>27866815
Why the fuck are you basing this on Wikipedia views? I don't think I've ever looked up MLP on wikipedia.
>>27866652
Thanks god, I hope all SJW move somewhere else
The fandom isn't dying at all, Bronycon isn't the only convention that we have. The show is going good but I will say that the channel switch has been difficult for the show because of the overnight swap. Hub was a lot more open to the fandom as Discovery is a bit less supporting of story and real entertainment with the series with thinking that only kids should watch MLP when in fact it's viewings mostly consist of us! If the fandom is dying then why are brony websites doing so well? Why are MLP youtubers getting so many views and their massive influence on the youtube community. Then on other social media websites there are literally bronies everywhere and working great among the other profiles and pages. With all this taken in consideration, the fandom is doing great.

Actually, 2012 was the peak of content creators bandwagon. In 2012 it was actually cool to do something MLP-related or to reference it - everyone was doing it (even PewDiePie had played a pony game back then).
The peak of MLP-awareness was around 2014.
It is just a lot of people who jumped the bandwagon have returned to their regular stuff and a lot of people who simply follow the mainstream did the same thing.
Currently we still have loads of content-creators and new ones keep coming. It doesn't "seem" as big, because we are no longer the big thing of the day and less normies are involved.
>>27866652
Unpopular opinion here. /mlp/ is just about the perfect size for a board. Threads don't die too quickly without constant posts, and they don't linger for linger for days without anyone noticing them.
>>27866652
Good, maybe fags of the fagdom will finally move on to fresher memes.

>ending
You do realize we're literally one of the biggest fandoms ever, right? Being smaller than we were at our largest still makes us pretty danm huge. And we still generate more content than any other fandom.yfw an album of 51 songs is being realesed today, from /mlp/ alone

Link?

OP one thing you don't seem to understand is that the ride never ends. Even if the show should end the ride will continue onward. It's much the same as licking a butthole, once you lick a butthole you can never un-lick that butthole OP. Just like once you've gotten on the ride you can never get off again.
>>27867439
to what?
>>27867482
The album being released by /mlp/. I know Balloon Party recently released a smaller album, which isallegedlyRarity-themed.
>>27866806
BronyCon attendance was down by several thousand; the novelty wore off.
>>27867506
it's right over >>27857024
They'll make a release thread with the bandcamp link later today
>>27867558
Thanks famiglia
Have a hoers
When the movie hits, we'll gather some normies and the numbers will be healthy for a while.
...you know what a sinus is, right?
trust me, the ride never ends.
at the time something is happen, it begins to go up and down- in all range.
>>27866652
At fucking last!

That's like, objectively wrong, dude.

>>27866652
Measured by what? # of views of a Wikipedia article? That's some conclusive shit m8, can't argue with that...
>>27867690
>>27867703
Also, you're dying, accept it and say, ok.
>>27867710
simply the fact that a fandom has a wikipedia article is pretty telling. Look at the wikipedia list of fandoms. There aren't too many
The ride never ends
>>27867701
wasn't even referring to capaldi
