Everyone, comment "WORST SITE" in this thread so it gets to the top of google!

Trust me, bro, this worked on r/The_Donald.

They targeted fanfics.

Fanfics.

We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.

We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.
We'll spend most if not all of our free time tweaking the verbiage of a story based on a copyrighted IP all to draw out a single extra upvote per second.

Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same tropes over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such writer nirvana that they can literally write these fanfics blindfolded.

Do these people have any idea how many keyboards have been smashed, drafts discarded, Gdocs files and Word documents destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?

These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our exposure mechanism? We're already building a new one without them. They take our stories? Readers aren't shy about throwing their upvotes else where, or even making the fics our selves. They think calling us entitled, whiny, incompetent writers is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a red and black OC. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with 4chan edgelords and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.

Fanfic writers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another hate group.

" all to draw out a single extra upvote per second."

Um, an extra upvote per second is a TON. No fic has ever gotten a single upvote every second.
