So while a few million casual fans might enjoy an episode of a show without ever making that fact widely known, a handful of devoted and occasionally unhinged fans are screaming about how the show is Ruined FOREVER, which can be seen and heard by everyone. But the more devoted a fan becomes, the more active (and louder) they become in the fandom. Generally speaking, the more intensely devoted fans in a fandom are usually outnumbered by the casual fans. So, just give the fans exactly what they want, and everything will work out. The existence of things like Fanon Discontinuity, Audience-Alienating Era, Author's Saving Throw, and Fanon means that any property successful enough to cultivate a group of intensely devoted fans is going to be at least partially concerned with satisfying their wishes to some degree, you have to give the people what they want. And if you displease the fans, they can just go elsewhere and take their money with them. But that's a bit naive it's the fans who keep the ratings up, the sales high, and the money flowing in. In theory, the creators, producers, and distributors are the ones calling the shots they decide what's happening in the work, and the fans follow as they will. One of the oddities of creating art is the nebulous relationship between the fans of the media and the creators of that media.
