We need to break the curse.

I have no clout, lol, but I made this for fun.
ALSO BECAUSE I FORGOT IN MY POST ABOUT COMPARISON:
Stop checking your stats!
I never look at my hits on ao3. I never check my bookmark numbers. I never check overall comment counts. STOP LOOKING AT THESE NUMBERS THEY WILL ONLY TEAR YOU APART.
I used to look at the number of comments until I realized I was whining in my head about ‘this fic got 5 comments but on THIS fic i only got 3!! WHY!!!’ and started spiraling. Nothing hurts like thinking you did something wrong just because the numbers on thing X are lower than the number on thing Y.
These stats say nothing except ‘when this fic was posted a lot of people happened to be online and think to comment/bookmark’. It’s lightning in a bottle. You cannot analyze them and you cannot do anything with them. They are USELESS.
A fic posted in 2016 is always gonna have more hits than one posted in 2023. It’s a fact. A fic posted when a fandom was HUGE is always gonna have more comments than one posted when fandom has dwindled.
Your stats are not you.
In fact, find some way to block yourself from looking at these stats whether it be an extension from github or some setting in ao3. Just cut it out. Capitalism wants you to believe you’re just a number and your worth is tied up in numbers but it’s not, and every time I see a good friend who is a great writer biting their nails over stats I wanna scream for them.
Remove the temptation to look at numbers and I promise half your comparison issues will leave too.
Daily fucking reminder there's no god damned censorship on Tumblr.
get your heads out of your asses and say exactly what you mean with your full pussy
The For You tab on mobile is just straight up gone for me and I've felt a great weight be lifted from my shoulders, I am free
I love Doom scrolling Tumblr and just seeing some random guys cock, very cool thank you
