Posting this on tumblr incase my quotev acc gets deleted but
Heres a link to the original
I did not proofread this, sorry yall.
I'm sure we've all noticed the changes made, and I'm aware that majority of us are in disagreement with it. Deactivation is not the solution here. Quotev got rid of the feed, messages, and groups, with the knowledge that it may have been the only feature some of you used. That being said, they were willing to sacrifice you as a user in exchange for the update.
I don't work for quotev, I can't promise anything, but if you would like even a chance at old quotev, I think the solution lies within our stories and quizzes.
Quotev has stated that "these features have become increasingly less beneficial to the main purpose of the platform." We can only assume that because stories and quizzes have not been targeted with the recent update, that those are main purposes hinted. The update, therefore, is meant to push these towards the forefront of the site. By targeting both stories and quizzes, we show Quotev that we do not support the new update and will not aid them in pushing those foward at the cost of older features such as recent activities, messages, groups, and group search.
So what can we do?
Authors:
Transfer your works off site.
No one is asking you to completely delete your works off the face of the internet, but instead consider them moving them off site.
Then, either delete the work on quotev or remove/hide published chapters and publish one chapter with the following.
Title: I do not support the recent Quotev update
Content: On May 31st, 2024, Quotev removed it's recent activities and its group functionality. Additionally, on July 1st, it is planning on fully removing groups and it's messages features. These changes were unannounced to it's users and are unfavorable to majority of the site users. As such, my book will be moved offsite to (Insert link here) unless Quotev returns these features to the site. Thank you.
Quiz makers:
This is not a good solution, and I apologize in advance. I do not expect you to delete your quizzes. I am aware few sites have such functionalities. For now this is the solution I have come up with.
Copy and paste your results and descriptions onto a word document or google doc. Do not change the the questions or answers.
Once you are sure that your results and descriptions are saved off site, change every result and description to the following:
Result: I do not support the recent Quotev update

Thank you.
Readers:
Copy and paste the links to your favorite books somewhere offsite.
Remove them all from your libraries.
Extra brownie points if you unlike them all.
For an extra kick, if you so wish, comment this on a couple of the books:
Thank you for this story. I enjoyed it, and wanted you to know that it was not removed from my library because of anything wrong with it.

Everyone else:
