Outsourced!

Many of us are fans of something, whether it is a show, a movie, a game, a team, or an individual person. As fans, it’s our natural instinct to find others who are interested in the same things as we are. This enables to be fans, to talk about situations surrounding the show, the movie, or what ever the case may be. Personally, to do this I turn to the internet. I can easily just time in “Vampire Diaries Fan Sites” on Google, and BAM! There a list of websites I can go to and satisfy my desire to speak about the show. Fan sites are a great place to communicate with other people about things going on with the individual or show that you are so passionate about. Why is this worth writing about? Well, the problem is that what you may consider to be a fan operated site, may in fact just be operated by the network behind the show or individual. It’s quite the deception. The fan sites not only serve to provide you with open forums, but they also serve to advertise for the network itself. On many of the fan sites now available you see advertisements for newer shows, links to network sites to purchase official products associated with the show or individual, and a lot more. So there really is no escaping the network. Everything is operated by the more dominate group and they do a good job of hiding the way in which they do it. TISK TISK. -_-
