Wattpad used to be fun lol. The front page is just whatever the higher ups want to push to make money while most stories get zero exposure. Now there are no clubs or forums, no chat bar to easily connect with people and form community. Do y’all still like it?

Like if you work your @$$ off advertising your own story you can get a few thousand reads. But it’s near impossible to break into that top tier.

@joelstainz that’s great, always good to hear from you. I am definitely moving on from Wattpad a bit and focusing on studies

I feel like my profile is dead. I got kind of detached from Wattpad.

@Azmavath Right. I guess I'll just keep writing for myself whenever passion strikes. Good luck out there.

@terraxxa They were to me as well, and like you I feel like the heart of this site is missing. They only promote one type of story and the rest go by the wayside. There is really no way to get your work noticed on this site anymore.

@Azmavath Yeah. The forums were the heart of the website to me. Most traffic comes from mobile, so I believe most users didn’t actually know about them, and they were hard to moderate. It feels like paid stories and movie deals are priorities over fostering connection and allowing unknown stories/authors to be discovered.

Haven’t been super public about it, but I’m going in for surgery tomorrow morning. So I’ll be back writing whenever I feel up to it. Bless.
