Ok so I just found out about the Wattpad Next Beta program. Which is fine. It’s great for people who can spend money on web books.
HOWEVER!
When other authors are being pushed down or not being promoted as they have been before, that’s what ticks me off. I can’t afford to pay for coins and trust me I would need a lot of coins to keep up with my reading habits. I’m a college student, so what money I don’t spend on food or gas, goes to savings for next semester. That’s the way it is.
If Wattpad chooses to go in this direction and change their entire setup to using coins. They will lose me as a reader and readers just like me. That’s why I’m not a steady reader on FicFun, webnovel or any of the others that rely on coins.
I love Wattpad, I really do.I hope they figure it out.
Because I know of authors that aren’t updating any more because of the Beta program. If Wattpad isn’t careful they’ll lose their best writers and the readers will follow.
