katiemariieI am really getting fend up with the LOST spot on Fanpop. I added a bunch of fanvids to the spot because I noticed that compared to other popular television spoits (The Office, Gilmore Girls) Lost was lacking in that department. Some newb with a stick up her ass decides to make a soapbox and a forum post about "THESE DARN LOST FANVIDS! Clogging up the video section!"
In the forum post, he said "Am I the only one who is getting really annoyed at the number of lost clip compilation videos and "fanvids" in the video section. It's a GREATLY AWESOME show, but these videos are really annoying and get in the way of important ones. I especially hate music videos made, put together with clips from the show. Do you agree with me? Or am I being to OTT?"
and in the Soapbox, "Am I the only one who is getting really annoyed at the number of lost clip compilation videos and "fanvids" in the video section. It's a GREATLY AWESOME show, but these videos are really annoying and get in the way of important ones. I especially hate music videos made, put together with clips from the show. Do you agree with me? Or am I being to OTT?
WTF why does the Article need to be longer..... Oh , im ment to post this in the forum, well i will as well but its more likely to be read here. Sorry if this is annoying but ive typed it out now. and to make it longer im going to copy n paste this whole thing again.

That's an exact quote.
After that, every fanvid I posted got rated low.
Later, someone who has BNF delusions of grandeur posted this on a comment of one of the fanvds, "can you stop adding these pointless fanvids now, 1/2/3 fine but you've added like 25 and there is no need for it."
Yeah, that big giant chunk of fandom is pointless. While we're at it, let's stop adding icons because they have no point either. In fact, Fanpop itself doesn't really have a point so let's just chuck that out the window.
What pisses me off is that in any other spot, I would be lauded as a good fan for posting the videos. But because the LOST spot is full of fourteen year olds who only come on to the site to watch full episodes, know nothing about online fandom, and can't use the simple keyword system to find the videos they want to watch, I'm a spammer.
I'm not going to post anything on that spot besides pictures and soapboxes after this. I've got too much fucking drama at home to deal with pre-pubescent ignorance online.
