Regarding the part I bold and underline, you know there are ad blocker plug-in that can bypass any ads (I used them when I watch Youtube video on computer).

I'm not talking about the Youtube popup ads, I'm talking about the actual ads within the video itself. Like the ones advertising for merchandise.

I watched a lot of K-dramas, and yes I've encounter some shoddy or stories that doesn't appeal to me. But that doesn't mean I denied that K-dramas are popular and more well-known then tokusatsu.

So you're fine with the possibility of a Netflix Original toku that's shit, and people get a poor impression of toku as a whole that they just avoid it? Because as rare as that is, it IS something that happens.

It IS irrelevant, because why care so much about the fact that toku fans don't interact with K-drama fans? It's just people suggesting shows, and just because you don't see toku fans doing the same thing, doesn't mean that there aren't.

People will suggest what they like when they want to. There're plenty of fandoms that don't interact at all, in spite of how closely related you'd think they'd be. There really is no need to act as if there needs to be an organized effort to get more people interested into something. Because that's pushy, and it can drive people nuts.

No, I'm good.

Because the genres as a whole don't necessarily line up with the tastes of toku fans. That's the truth of the matter. People will gravitate to what they like. And that's not bad. Fans of anything aren't beholden to try and get people to like the things they do. It's fine that toku fans don't interact with K-drama/C-drama fans, and it's fine that K-drama/C-drama fans don't interact with anime fans.

There's nothing wrong with a lack of interaction between fandoms. In fact, that's pretty normal.
