That, to me, is the critical problem. A review, is of course, a response, but chances are it's actually less transformative because it's going to recap a bunch of things that happened in canon. By contrast, a "response" might take it as understood that the reader knows what happened in the movie or episode (or TV season or music album, etc.) so instead it's going to spend time talking about the relevance of the impact of the "what."
Yeah, I've certainly seen plenty of stuff that was not a fanwork -- fic searches, beta requests, place holders, plot bunnies up for adoption, etc. But it's hard to see how these particular works could be confused with that.
But the definition of "ephemeral" in the ToS FAQ is: ""Ephemeral content could include, for example, a single short sentence, a single unedited image or .gif with or without a short caption, a short unedited video clip, or a short unedited sound clip. Ephemeral content is generally meant to be read at a particular time: for example, a message about a particular challenge or a reaction meant to be read while or just after a particular episode airs.""
If one goes by those examples, then these four works are definitely not edge cases. So despite what they said about the format, I do think that it makes a difference.
TLDR Details
The March Meta Matters Challenge is focused on not just new meta, but making sure older meta gets a chance to be read and remain a part of fandom history. Join us in March to start archiving your work!
