Forget Wattpad refugees. I don’t believe any of the AO3 users who swear they “happened upon” (untagged) watersports. I can barely find it when I’m actively searching tags

We already had regular ao3 users complaining about finding “untagged horrors” now there’s more of them

“THE ALGORITHM-“ you mean the most recently posted/updated fics?

genuinely I think they search up that stuff as a form of self-harm, then turn around and lash out because of it. Like some sort of weird cycle

don't you have to search to find specific fics like, atp I'm convinced they search it out of their own will but later felt guilty so they tryna cancel

Algorithm? The first thing you learn when you begin to use Ao3 is that THERE IS NO ALGORITHM!! You have to WORK for your meal here

I've been on AO3 for nigh a decade and only got an account last year, been raw dogging the site with no filter and have never, EVER, seen the shit they're claiming. Not once. They are DELIBERATELY searching for these things.

The horrible fics I've encountered it's because I hate myself and look for them 🫠 and that's on me 😂. Been an ao3 user since like 2011 or smt 😁🥰 I've had no issues at all w the tags unless they're not tagged correctly (and that's only been an issue recently BTW)
