That's exactly everyone's main issue. As a company, especially one who's had glitch issues in the past, it's their responsibility to notify when they're testing out a new system! But nope! I saw even one or two paid authors mention how they were affected, too! When you're literally causing the people who made deals with you to lose their stuff because of a stupd glitch, and didn't say a dam thing until AFTER the fact, you shouldn't even question why people are taking their writing to other sites.
Ao3 kept giving updates while they were in the middle of dealing with a homophobic DDos attack and was even letting people know to be careful and not go on. Meanwhile Wattpad can't even tell people "Hey, we're testing something, backup your books just in case."
And then when they posted a chapter about the new update that caused the issue, within the next day or a few hours, the made a chapter saying "WE'VE GOT DEALS ON PAID ROMCOM BOOKS"
Like, the fuking audacity!? You remove our books and then not only promote your paid crap, but it was just promoting the same type of cishet romances!?
I've decided to move to Ao3 (my username there is the same as here, no books published yet), because what's the point in busting my butt on a book when it'll just get removed because of a glitch or some troll reporting it (The last thing was the whole reason I made an Ao3, fear from someone falsely reporting me).
I'm still on here to chat, but that's about it.
