Same thing that's wrong with imgur and many other websites: It was made for a singular purpose, but over the years it was turned more and more into a commercialized social media platform.

If you open fandom now, about half the page is filled with links, images, popouts, side bar, bottom bar, sliding bars, unhidden elements, notifications, etc. trying to get you to join their "community", and things like that. It's automatically playing videos. They stopped letting people have custom looks for hosted wikis(all has to follow the fandom look so they can enforce their "community" nonsense). And that's with adblock. Without it's actually hard to find what is the real content, since there are about a dozen ads covering everything.
