"Fans and the internet have a symbiotic relationship. The digital era increased
the productivity and visibility of fan culture, which in turn has largely
influenced the ways that we all act online.
Fan communities existed long before the internet, but the proliferation of
online platforms changed the ways in which they connect and participate.
Here is a brief history of how fan cultures shaped – and were shaped by – the
internet."
