Yes, the fandom seems massive. But, in actuality, the majority of the viewers on the show are casual viewers who just turn on their TV every week and tune in. They might be upset that Lexa died or Bellamy is OOC or whatever, but in the end it doesn't affect them as much. Most casual viewers will keep watching. The fandom doesn't have as much influence as people think and The 100 is still doing better this season than at least four other shows on the CW so it still has a chance of renewal.

You might not like it, but it's the truth. Twitter and Facebook followers are very weak and inaccurate representations of the viewers because casual viewers don't generally follow the show beyond their TV screen.

I get why people stop watching, but if it's just because Lexa died. . . I mean, that might not have even been avoidable. I doubt they would have gotten ADC for Season 4, from what it sounds like. So stop watching if you want, I totally get that, but just because Lexa is dead, doesn't mean the show is, too. One character doesn't make an entire TV series. Damn right, the casual viever (like me) still watches the series even after a beloved Character has died, Lexa didn't make the show, Kass Morgan and the CW did, so it will pick up, I have faith
