Real answer? It’s not, there’s just a lot of authors and of course that opens to a wide variety of life experiences. It’s the intense ones that just get circulated a lot. And also for authors that report physical/mental health struggles, writing has been an escape for many of us so we spawn on ao3. But been writing for many years and I don’t blame ao3 for any of my bad circumstances lol

It's just a confirmation bias thing. If you expect the AO3 curse to get you, you will end up thinking the traffic jam on ur way to work is part of the AO3 curse even though it absolutely is not. Choose to believe in the AO3 blessing instead :]
