EVERYONE: You may not yet know that Wattpad--with no forewarning--rolled out content restriction changes (more are on the way 15th April) while it also fired the volunteer human reviewers and replaced them with AI.
After being called out for both, they posted this: https://www.wattpad.com/1436342697-news-updates-upgrading-our-moderation-capabilities
This is a money decision. They're sanitizing the site so they have less potential legal headaches, and also less chance of certain countries blocking their site due to content those countries do not find acceptable.
PLEASE HELP SPREAD THE WORD! Many writers and readers still have not heard about this yet. There is still no word on whether the AI "reviewers" will still be pulling stories they should not be or if that's been fixed. So do not be surprised if stories disappear, both recently or in the future.
WRITERS: Back up your works! Get ready to go elsewhere. There's nothing left for us here. Reach out to other authors and your readers and share the link above, which so far they have not prohibited from being shared.
DO NOT PUT ANY OTHER LINKS in the body of your about/profile/Conversation wall. Even if you can see them, others cannot! There is only one place--as of this writing--that is a work around, but that too will likely soon be taken away. (See mine, and if the l0cati0n part is missing...there's your answer.)
READERS: Many are leaving for greener pastures. Check with folks you follow, and see if they're talking about this on their walls. If not, beg them to back up their works and share the Wattpad link above so they can read for themselves.
