I enjoy how Rekudo still gets both people being mad at me for saying "maybe understand that you doing nothing to engage the authors writing the fics you like so much demotivates those authors" and saying "an automated comment from someone who reread your fic and forgot they'd left kudos already may be the first and only comment someone might be able and willing to send".
Like it was one thing if either of those were my stated goal but like shit, I just made a tool. At this point it's up to people to figure out how to use that tool for themselves. If people think someone is using a tool I made wrong, take it up with those people instead of leaving me condescending comments about either Wrong Way of Doing It.

Date: 11/8/22 09:46 (UTC)Yep, when I initially posted about it elsewhere, a bunch of people assumed that I had no problems leaving comments ever because as a writer, jokes about not being able to give more kudos annoy me. Like, I posted about it on the vent thread, and still people crawled up my ass about how insensitive I was being towards people too anxious or simply unwilling to leave comments.
And at the same time, entitled writers come onto the Rekudo post on Tumblr all the time to complain about how they don't want people leaving thoughtless "super like" comments, and if readers don't have anything intelligent to say they shouldn't say anything. Truly, the internet once again proves to be unpleasable.

Date: 11/8/22 19:59 (UTC)yeah like the vent thread thing stuck to me because... it was the vent thread. I was venting anger and frustration, trying to be constructive about it, and all people had to say to that was "this does not solve the problem I have with leaving comments".
Like, wow! Sorry to hear that! In that case, Rekudo isn't for you! Jesus wept.
