this new age fic writer transactional mentality is getting to the point where i think they'd want ao3 to have ads if it meant they could get a cut of the revenue from ads placed in their fics and then talk about how their labour for the community can finally be fairly compensated
They see themselves as a sort of fandom “micro-influencer”.
It’s really evident from how they are much more upset by kudos that they are theoretically missing out on, than not being able to share their fanworks with likeminded folk. It’s all transactional & attention driven
