This is what happened when a fanfic site is profit driven. Wattpad sucks 😞
The email from Wattpad is so condescending imagine pressuring writers to update and work while they are doing it for free and fun. Also the discovery? Algorithm? Of Wattpad looks like a stressful popularity contest 😑
Hey I just wanna quickly say that you only get these if someone reports the story. I’ve barely updated on Wattpad in the past two years and haven’t gotten any of these, mostly because I don’t even have an audience over there who has the potential or drive to report my fics. So, corporate greed is bad, yes, but it’s also readers being buttheads
Hmm, that’s interesting! You know what happens if someone reports a story for being incomplete on AO3? Jack shit, because not churning out content for your fun little hobby is not a reportable offense on AO3! And that’s because, unlike Wattpad, AO3 isn’t profiting off of your work, either directly or indirectly, and so when readers are buttheads, the AO3 abuse mods ignore them, instead of sending out weird automated messages harassing writers for daring to have a wip.
