Unpopular Opinion (sorry if I offend anyone (read at ur own risk then????))
Ok, I need to get this off my chest and it's not my intention to offend anyone!!! This is just my opinion, read at your own risk!):
I hate dislike it when people put 'subscribers only' on their story. It's like forcing everyone to subscribe, and I just... just don't like it. Like, I get it, when you like want to read a 'real' book (tho some fanfics I've red are just impure literature), you have to buy it (or u just go to the library but that's not free everywhere either). But why would you force people to subscribe?
Ok, when the fic has a trigger warning, then I can understand it, but just stories? Why do people do that?
For me! When I want to read a story, I like check it out first and when it seems interesting, I subscribe then read it fully n probably leave a comment. But when I come upon a 'subscribers only' thing I can't like check it out first because I'm like forced to subscribe first to check it out???
I just HATE it because when the description seems interesting I am forced to click subscribe and click 'next' and only thEN I see what the real story is like and when I instantly don't like it, I have to immediately unsubscribe again and it makes me feel so rude??? LIke the author sees someone is subscribed and are like "yay!" but then the person, me, unsubscribes again, I feel like I disappoint them??? I just hate it, ok.
I also can't feel happy for an author who puts their fic to 'subscribers only' and then they cheer about how many subs they have. LIke, duh, of course! Because you basically force them all to subscribe???
So I avoid all stories with 'subs only' because I'm just... just no (unless the desc really intrigues me). And more and more ppl put 'subs only' on their stories and it makes me sad.
Sorry for ranting.
And to y'all who DO put 'subs only' on their stories... I want to know why you do that. Just curious.
