Have you guys seen this conversation?

If you have not:
People are pointing out that a lot of fanfics are being removed/taken down to be monetized (so money can be made off of them)


What do you guys think about this? Have you seen it happen?

I have seen it and I havw a few issues with it
Mostly because fanfics are paced for "frequent" updates, so in a book the pacing feels way off.
They are also written (usually) by amateurs, not necessarily a negative but I am so sick of reading books and  going "this feels like it was written for ao3/wattpad/fanfic.net" and being right 100% of the time.



I think im just sick of every hobby being monetized now

I think people who do that need to learn fandom history, fanfic being monetized has been a nono for a long time to protect fanfic writing as a whole from legal action e-e
