does anyone else get mad at the paid stories thing? I mean, people are willingly paying ofc, but the stories are all so generic and the writing is insanely average. not trying to say I'm superior and 1000x better (I'm not actually great at writing at all), but so many are cliché as hell, I'm yet to find something actually original.
          	
          	just a little rant because there are some really great writers who are out-shone because their work is free and original. higher price ≠ higher quality. wattpad imo seems to be trying their best to suck the money out of people recently. this is mainly why I stopped using it. anyone else feel this way + can recommend some really interesting, original books with really good quality writing? I'd love to talk about this stuff :)
          	
          	(also, just as a note, I'm not trying to drag anyone else's writing, I just believe some things should not have a price tag if books with clearly way more effort put into them don't.)

Anyone confused about new Wattpad stuff:
          
          NSFW — "Not safe for work", content that includes at least one of the listed factors; nudity, sexual content, profanity, slurs, and violence. Books containing any of the above should be marked as mature. If you are unsure, it's probably best to tag your book as mature to keep younger users safe.
          
          What Wattpad is deleting — NOT BOOKS CONTAINING THE ABOVE, but books containing child pornagraphy (sexual content including anyone below 16), romanticising rape/abuse (including sex slavery and kidnapping for sexual purposes), books solely revolving around sex (porn without plot), sexual roleplay, and any illegal sexual acts (bestiality (animals), necrophilia (dead bodies), and incest (family members)).
          
          I'll be happy to answer questions if anyone doesn't understand anything <3

            Your vegetables, kids. I don't want to throw away another two plates of good food. Your father cannot live like this, we are in debt and he has a minimum wage job. Please, kids.
