I've been seeing this 'ao3 needs to put ads so authors can get monetized' take going around twitter lately and I just wanna know...
Has social media done so much damage that people can't even imagine just enjoying something without trying to become an 'influencer' or become 'social media famous' because of it?
You can do that shit literally anywhere else and I'm glad that this person explained it like this.
Can't y'all just do something for the love of the game and not because of what it might get you?
Not to mention, I've been seeing a lot of people who want ao3 to be changed in other ways because they don't like it and it's like dude... can't you just make your own shit then?
This site was created to give people financial freedom and not suffer from censorship like every other website and y'all wanna revert and change it to what everyone has been trying to avoid?
Is there a reason that you can't make your own child friendly monetized bullshit instead of trying o change something that ten million other people love?
It's like everyone online suffers from main character syndrome fr.
