00:00Can an online community get too big for its own good? That's the major question longtime fans are
00:04asking after DreamCon 2026 wrapped up its massive weekend in Houston. On paper, the convention
00:09founded by YouTube collective RDC World is a massive triumph, pulling in over 40,000 attendees
00:14and headline stars like Issa Rae. But across X and threads, a different conversation is brewing
00:19about the classic paradox of success. Longtime attendees are speaking out with one viral post
00:24on X stating, no more DreamCon for me. The convention grows in numbers, but it struggles
00:28to grow in quality. As the event scales up, fans are reporting logistical growing pains
00:33like massive lines and chaotic convention floors. But there's also growing backlash with core
00:37anime purists who feel the influx of casual clout chasing influencers and only fan models
00:42is shifting the vibe away from the traditional nerd space. It's a massive challenge for the
00:46creator economy. So if you plan to go next year, how do you think RDC World can scale this massive
00:51event without losing the core soul that built it? Share your thoughts below and follow what's
