for the last time creating content and engaging with content other people make are very different experiences and one is not a substitute for the other, i'm honestly tired of the "if it doesn't exist just make it" argument, it's not actually a solution to there being little content for the thing i'd like to read about, it's a problem that either can't be fixed or is helped by more people choosing to make said content, you simply cannot experience something new as a reader for the first time if you're also the writer it just doesn't work like that! and people complaining about there being little content for one thing isn't saying anyone is obligated to start doing so or that what they're making instead is bad just that it would be nice if more people did create what they liked because they'd appreciate reading it, is that so hard to get? like yes, i create the type of content i like because it's enjoyable to write about but the enjoyment i get out of writing and the enjoyment i get out of reading something (someone else wrote) are different things to me
as an aside i dislike how anyone who says "i wish there was more of xyz" always get shut down and the people shutting them down always act oddly defensive about it, as if some people putting out more xyz content would take anything away from them and as if the person wishing for there to be more than 3 fics for it in their fandom are going after them personally
