Thank you so much for this. Your perspective and sense of history has been invaluable to me many times.

I do worry most of all about the PTB trying to coopt fandom, which can't really succeed as a project but which can make a lot of waves, and also about fans trying to be "good fans" and seek the PTB's approval.

Most of what I like about fandom will never have the PTB's approval, so that's never been a priority for me.
