>I actually think a lot of those points are correct, even the brony point may have been partly so back in 2011/12
looking back at it, yeah he may be right. Except that there are so many animes these days that whiel there may be big piles of trash, the games will be remembered. Sure, quantity has less value than quality but there is a bigger chance with a lot attempts than a few ones. I think the problem to point 1 is that the anime public focuses on one season or year and move on all the time, forgetting what happened the previous year.

As for the boredom point, yeah, people don´t want they want and get bored. Fortunately enough, even though I want new things to happen, MLP has offered to me a constant pillar of entertainment to get stuck for several years. As for the switching aspect, one thing I would apply that statement would be for new models of any mobile (Iphone 10 for example). They show them off on their social media the first days and move onto the next thing after a few weeks or months. That problem isn´t new and those types of people may be big consumerists.

>Though I think there is too much emphasis on the that, and a lot of bronies were the type of people who may have never considered a fandom period
especially when it was so explosive and was seen as seasonal trend that no one knew that it would last for so long. I have not been there but if it had to turn into a stable community, one has to catch a few patterns from previous similarities. As we discussed it before, the brony fanbase caught the cringy anatomy of Deviantart for example. Nothing gets created out of nowhere, one cannot be surprised that /mlp/ would repeat anime clichés considering that it came from the Yotsuba site....

>there is technically a whole lot more people who are into anime beyond what you'd get on TV mainstream, but it's being consumed in a mainstream way (crunchyroll, through weeb YTers who after the first generation have little background in those hardcore circles themselves, etc).
exactly, anime is so widespread and appears in so many places these days. It gets consumed in a mainstream way because of sites that people recommend to stream the episodes. It´s like I complain about watching MLP on Dailymotion or Yayponies for being too mainstream and not on X site instead. One cannot control it and people tend to pic the easy route in general for anything.
