Yeah, which makes it a total bummer that trying to publicize a fic on AO3 now feels a lot like trying to publicize one of those "98 percent of the books that publishers released in 2020 sold fewer than 5,000 copies" (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/18/books/book-sales-publishing-pandemic-coronavirus.html). If I have to read guides about "How To Hustle So Your Fic Gets Seen By More Than Three People" suddenly it's a lot more like actual work, not creative release, except there's not even minimal pay, lol.

(Altho really a huge part of that is caused by AO3's search functions still being super broken, and tags are also broken. In that hc_bingo amnesty round I mentioned upthread, I asked a bunch of people how to quickly find fandoms with >500 fics on AO3, and nobody knew how.)
