FAQ About The Impact of Fan Culture on Media Production

What is 'fan service' and how does it impact media content?

'Fan service' refers to the inclusion of elements in media content designed primarily to please the existing fanbase. This can include references, inside jokes, or developments that cater to fan desires.
