Not Thriving: Direct Demographic

Go To

Direct Demographic was created in 2010 and, in that time, has only amassed 18 wicks, 12 on-page examples (four of which are already wicks, and two of which are general examples), and 150 inbounds. The definition is also unclear; its Laconic explains it as "Marketing and consumer feedback are much faster and more direct in New Media." without explaining why that counts as a trope or what makes a work count.

Obviously, my opinion is to cut it.

Sorry for the wait, ~FernandoLemon. Opened.

Seconding a cut.

The definition to me seems to be "new media creators incorporate a lot of fan feedback" which seems tropeworthy, but seems like it might already be covered by another trope?

Cut. We can migrate examples to the pages FernandoLemon listed if necessary.

There’s also Line to God, another channel through which creators can see fan feedback.

I do think “changing the story due to fan response” is workable, but probably not with this page.

Honestly, while I don't think this is capable of having examples, I do think it sounds like a reasonable meta-concept of some sort. The more direct connection between creators of "new media" and their audience is a thing worth mentioning somewhere.

[up][up] That's another good one, a couple of the wicks/examples qualify for it.

I'd like to apologize for all this.

It's been three days, but I'd like to have more consensus before I take any action.

I'd like to apologize for all this.

Well, that calls for a crowner. I'll start one up.

Edit: And it's hooked!

It's been enough time, and the crowner seems conclusive in favor of cutting.

I'd like to apologize for all this.

Yep, time to call. Let's start cutting.

Only 18 wicks to remove.

I got most of them, but I'm not sure what to do with the remaining two pages.
