I think it's wrong ngl. I understand wanting to protect minors, more than anything. Wattpad exposed me to wayyyy too much stuff when i was young, too. But it's one thing to block off access of younger people to that sort of thing, and another to entirely wipe off the work people have done. I dont know the extent of it, nor do i know exactly how bad it's gonna get, but i find it... Weird and controlling. Wattpad has always had a bit of everything. It was my first fanfic site. The addition of ads too, the app rlly is just ruined. I barely read books there anymore. Things always change but it's been on the downwards curve for a very long time. Nothing anyone can really do but watch it burn. Either make a Wattpad kids version if you're so inclined or leave authors' work be. They've put in a lot. My writing is fairly tame, I'd say, but I'm genuinely curious about what might become of my books with very, very slight spice if the censorship gets to an extreme point. We'll see, ig 🙈

I 100% agree with you, there should be some barrier to minors but also taking down books from authors who have written there and done so well? It's lowkey like Tumblr but Tumblr was lowkey crazy compared to Wattpad. I hope they can find a good balance or a different way to protect minors
