THANK YOU 🥹🥹🥹

On the bright side, I have 9k so far! I'm like halfway done with chapter 2 (out of ???)

Yeah!! Make friends in the community and hype each other up, it's way more fulfilling!!

Yep! If you click the ? it goes on to explain that this is intended for backdating, so I'm not even sure why it lets you push the date forward.

Yeah, I don't notice it super often thankfully but I've definitely seen it in prev fandoms too and I'm always :/ about it. It really does feel like an algorithm-driven mindset like you said

And I KNOW they're changing the date cuz the upload date says today but they have comments from a few days ago

This is genuinely the fourth day in a row I think I've seen not one but FIVE fics by the same author on the 1st page of the tag..... like bro 😭 I get wanting more eyes on it, but it makes me not wanna read it out of spite
