Aight this is just a question. Why do you hate ao3/the ppl who donate so much? (This is not me coming for you. Just generaly curious)

Well there’s a lot of reasons from how they’ve reportedly treated some of their “employees” to the fact that tbh the donation thing is probably a scam they make over 4 times what they need and ask for it every couple months like. Some things are just objectively fishy I’m sorry and let’s be clear there are numerous posts specifically about their business practices and the issues w their donations drives honestly there’s some in my a*3 tag but I don’t remember the exact numbers and I’m on mobile so you’ll just have to go through my tag to find the posts about that. It’s not that I don’t use it but consumers are the ones that need to hold a product accountable and giving money w/o asking for improvements (literally everyone wants) to the site is like. Objectively dumb like it’s not a*3 antis criticizing the site it’s normal people many of whom literally use it for their own works-and let’s be honest here asking them for some basic guidelines and regulations (like literally every site on earth) isn’t gonna kill anyone just maybe remove the cp in a rpf for a start like..but also there’s literally a worldwide pandemic, you see peoples go fund mes every five seconds, just in America alone there’s everything from the anti trans legislature to the extreme poverty and toll on reservation communities rn and like people are donating hundreds of thousands of dollars past what the site needs instead and tbh there is something fundamentally immoral and self centered in thinking your entertainment and hobbies deserve more money than like the last mutual aide post you scrolled past. It’s a question of inherently flawed priorities to say the least. Also if the argument is supporting the author a*3 doesn’t support them. They’ll remove and ban you if you link any way to financially support you. If you want to support writers many have mutual aid posts up rn but people don’t really want to do that. They want to support a brand and that brand is a*3 honestly the way this discussion goes is just stan psychology 101 and it went from genuine arguments to people building a personality out of supporting their fav interest and the people who’ve spent years explaining things that are googleable and some of it is just common sense are just kinda tired of repeating the same info. So now it’s if you do this (with all the info on why it’s bad out there and been out there for years) die or literally dozens and dozens of instead of donating to a*3 donate to me directly. (I’m the former here.). I know my answer was mostly a tangent but I’m in pain and typing is hard so this is the best you’re gonna get I suggest going through my a*3 tag or the ops of the posts in that tag. At the end of the day literally all the information is out there and the main reason I and other “antis” (ig) hate this is because we’ve been having this discussion for going on what. 10 years.

If any of my besties has anything to add pls do 💕
