Why are pony cons not that interesting anymore?

[Slashy 101]

I guess it is because the fandom has stagnated, the hype is gone, and the amount of fan content is dwindling.

I mean compared to GDQ, pony cons seem kind of boring.

Why are you comparing brony conventions to games done quick?

Cuz I'm the only brony who can DANCE.

 

Well, at the Denver con anyway.

The pony cons I've been to have always been on the cozier side, size wise, but I haven't noticed a difference, year to year.

One have they? I never noticed!

 

Two what is GDQ?

 

Three this sounds like an opinion more than a fact.

This is more of an opinion than a fact to be honest, personal preference on how you view conventions based on an interest meter or how easy and hard a convention can lose your interest. Fandom stagnated, hype gone, and fan content dwindling? I don't think so or see it happening anytime soon.

I don't go to conventions, but I can say this. Like all fandoms, this one has changed. I'm not here to debate if it's gotten better or worse, but it isn't the same as it was a few years ago. We can't deny that. You may like how it used to be better.

Pony conventions are still popular to this day. Just take a look at the convention list on Equestria Daily and you'll see that there are still plenty of cons in 2016 alone  .

 

Correct me if i'm wrong, but perhaps what you were trying to say in your post was that the idea of a pony convention is not that interesting anymore. And I would have to agree somewhat. The idea of grown men congregating together to spend a weekend celebrating the magic of our beloved Equines would have seemed interesting 3 years ago. Nowadays, people probably just bat an eye at us and move on with their daily lives.
