@DaturaCommunity to be honest, I had already given up on Wattpad because I just can't make it work, and I'm 39, I have a family, a house and job to tend to and I can't waste time playing pretend over a hobby. I had already decided I was going to remove all content in English, but I'm considering closing the profile and just be done with it.
I don't care about the DM thing, but they don't seem to be implementing anything to help their userbase (readers and writers alike, I have given up on their search engine to find stories I would like, which is basically werewolf romance without alphas and without fated mates), they're just adding stuff to cater to their investors and save their backsides from possible consequences due to allowing too much smut on a site with a HUGE teenager population. The DM and AI shadowban thing is just a way to control certain problems that have arisen due to their own policies, but they won't backpedal on said policies because smut brings a huge revenue. Oh well, so be it. Wattpad will collapse under its own weight.
