Read This: Beyoncé has the most scarily devoted fans on the internet

In 2014, Saturday Night Live presented a mock trailer for a film called The Beygency, in which Beyoncé fans literally run the world and haters are dealt with swiftly and severely. Exaggerated as it is, the sketch has some basis in reality. As writer Alyssa Bereznak describes in a piece for The Ringer called “Inside The BeyHive,” Beyoncé does have some incredibly devoted, industrious, and well-organized followers. The singer herself, despite being under constant media scrutiny and making her personal life an integral part of her art, is surprisingly cloistered and unreachable. Beyoncé rarely gives interviews, famously eschews press releases, and carefully guards details about upcoming projects. She doesn’t even tweet. Since nature abhors a vacuum, the singer’s fans are there to make sure that the internet is well supplied with news, promotion, speculation, and fawning praise about the most important entertainer on the face of the planet. The focus of Bereznak’s investigation is a popular and influential fan forum called TheBeyHive.com, currently being flagged by Google as a “deceptive” phishing site. The site’s supervisors are currently “trying to figure out” that warning, according to the article.
