Genuinely, where are ML people congregating these days. None of the Discord servers I'm in are super active anymore and I barely see people in them posting about new episodes/specials and definitely not as they're airing. Where is the new episode camaraderie
There used to be so many active Discord servers and groups on Tumblr/Instagram who talked about where to find links for whatever was coming out and livestreamed episodes themselves and went crazy while watching them all together and I can't tell if this is something that has gone by the wayside fandom-wide or if I am a loser who just isn't invited to be part of these things
#miraculous ladybug#honestly ml is a pretty interesting case study#I've been here since 2015 so like right at the beginning and it was easier to watch livestreamed episodes then than it is now#people are very cagey about links and wont give them out anymore#when it used to be very celebratory to share links and people would like. bond in livestream chats#god do people even remember le ranch. do people even know how watching that before episodes came out changed us#people dont even talk about new episode links until like. an hour before the episode comes out#so youre kind of sol if you dont live in a convenient timezone#and this is probably due to a whole number of things. ml getting more popular so people realized#they could make money off of livestreaming it#and then going after all other livestreams to get them taken down so we all had to use to same one site (miraculous.to)#disney taking over and getting real strict about their content takedowns#twitter going to hell. instagram getting worse. people leaving tumblr in 2018.#brand ambassadors changing how they interacted with fandom. fandom getting a lot bigger#so everything got a lot more spread out with more cliques and groups completely separated/unaware of each other#people who did a lot of the legwork leaving fandom and not explaining to anyone how to do what they used to#popular hosting sites getting taken down#etc etc etc
