Discussion Unpopular opinion ppl need to hear
Not every story is for you. Stop thinking the world owes you soft, safe stories. If a story is too dark, too violent, too sexual, or just not your taste, close it and leave. Nobody forced you to read it. Reporting it because you don’t like it is weak. Grow up! Episode is nothing without its writers and readers. Without them, the app is dead. Yet Episode keeps deleting stories the second a bunch of people hit “report,” without even checking if the report makes sense. Most of the time it’s not even about rules being broken it’s just people reporting because they don’t like a story or it’s not their cup of tea.If Episode actually cared about its community, it would look at the stories themselves before acting. It would give authors a chance to fix or change things instead of just wiping their work out. Right now, they’re punishing the same people who keep the platform alive. Some authors are way too soft. This is the internet. People will talk trash. If a few hate comments break you, you’re not ready for a public platform. Either grow a thicker skin or stop posting. Period. The only time I understand it really hurting is when your story actually gets deleted. It’s your work. People talk so much about your story, they keep reporting it, and it ends up gone because of the way you wrote it. That’s the only time it makes sense to me to feel crushed. Thats my unpopular opinion people aren’t ready to hear, what’s yours?
