every day I learn bot comments on ao3 are stooping lower and lower
anyway if you get a comment like this, chances are that they are bot and their goal is to do whatever it takes to get you to delete your work, most certainly (from what Iāve heard) itās because they want to āsafelyā steal your work, use it to train their ai without you being able to rightfully claim ownership of your work since āthereās no proof that the work was stolen/was posted elsewhere first by youā because the original source has already been deleted.
THEY ARE ALL BOTS. at first it was āao3 is deleting fics and your entire account will be affected unless you delete the fics yourselfā then it was āthis work contains contents that are illegal and they have already reported you and your fic to the policeā (yes, thatās how desperate these bots are), and now itās this.
report their comments to ao3 for spamāin this case, specifically, I think you may be able to report them for harassment tooāand donāt pay attention to them, most importantly donāt delete your works, donāt feel discouraged by their comments. remember that they are bots and they mass comment something like this on peopleās works at random to get people to delete their works. (or even if theyāre not bot, they are still pathetic bullies who donāt deserve your time or attention.)
