Wattpad I have a request for you. When you're planning your next website update, please consider doing this.
Make the number of reads, votes, and comments on a book only visible to the person who's writing it.
As a writer, I know that it's so hard to get to even 1K because people see that your story has below 500 reads, votes, or comments and think that it's not worth it. As a reader, I know that I'm guilty of this too. It's human nature. We flock to the most popular content.
If you make the stats private, then reading and writing on this site will be less about competition and more about finding and supporting high-quality authors. Now, if the author wants to tell their followers about a milestone on a book, that's fine, but it should be up to the author.
That is all. I hope you take this into consideration.
Now for the announcement for anyone who reads this book or follows me. School has started up for me and I'm gonna be taking a posting hiatus. I'll still be writing stuff, but just won't post it. Feel free to PM me if you wanna chat. I'll still be reading and communicating on here.
Tootles!
