people don’t understand that the MINUTE work is monetized, it opens ao3 to a number of lawsuits, from every brand and corporation who own the original characters. it opens up ao3 to ads and sponsored videos, and the site being taken down permanently.
High key we should slap everyone who tries to monetize their fanfics before they doom us all.

And I feel like the same people who want to monetize it are the same fools who don’t know how to be polite in fandom space

It’s this whole thing where people think that everything that they do (especially hobbies) they have to make money off of it. It’s really disheartening to see these days. Writing fanfic is a hobby not a job. If you want to make money off of writing, make an original piece and publish it somewhere else. Wattpad literally publishes physical books now… (which is also part of Wattpad’s downfall….)

The people who want to monetize ao3 are the same people who see art as just a means to make a profit.
