Plain and simple: Wattpad Rants
I've been on Wattpad for a while now, and I know there are plenty of these already, but I need to release some hot air.
So, after much pondering and debating, I've decided to add my very own rant book about Wattpad de...
I'm so sorry for up and disappearing, only coming back to update my novel, and pretty much being inactive.
Lol. Uni life is stressful, and you tend to forget about Wattpad when you've got so much fun to have with new friends. Such good stress-relievers.
Anyway, don't you guys worry. I promise I'll keep this chapter salty, even though it's short. I guess you could say it's short but salty! XD
Get it? Instead of short but sweet, it's short but salty!

Okay, sorry. Just ignore me. I'm too stressed with university and I need a reliever (other than my friends).
Moving on!
Anyone else find it completely jarring to see this above your bio?

Like, no! I already said I'm using Wattpad for FREE books. Get that out of my face, please. It's so annoying to be reminded that I have to spend money on Wattpad now. Just ugh! So dumb and ANNOYING!

⬆️ (UGH!)
I mean, seriously! Tell me, Wattpad, which writers are empowered to continue writing because of this? Oh, the super popular ones that have already been empowered by thousands of fans and publishing deals? The ones that win contests and have millions of reads already? The ones who get donations on Patreon because their fans love them so much? Or maybe the ones that receive fanart of their work and free graphics from brilliant fans who absolutely adore their work? Oh, you mean those writers? Please. It's just another way for Wattpad to make money by using the popular writers and seeing the rest as money bags.
It would be another story if we could get those coins by watching ads or something, but since we have to actually pay, it's just bitter to see. And we all know, I don't do bitter. I do salty.
Thanks for nothing.

Whew. I was extra salty right there.
To be honest, I don't really care about this Wattpad Next coin bullcrap since I know I'll just stay away from books that require payment. It's just annoying to be reminded of it constantly on my own profile.
If this keeps up, I might quit Wattpad for good. Like, delete my account and everything. It's getting too exhausting to keep up with all the changes for monetary gain (meaning, Wattpad only thinking of the popular writers) while I myself am trying to share my stories with the world and trying to find new people to make friends with in the community.
But hey, good for all the successful guys who get this benefit. They need support too, I guess.
Whatever. I'm too tired to deal with this. Sorry for the short chapter. I'm trying to think of a good chapter to write, but I can't think of anything that I can write without doing research, which I have neither the time nor the will to do.
So, I'll leave you here! Thought I should at least update a chapter to let you guys know that I'm not gone.
