I started on wattpad back in high school and stuck with it for 7years, and I would never go back.

In my experience the community has grown extremely toxic and i saw some of the most disgusting hate messages. The site is overpopulated with tweens living their fantasies through fanfic, and stories are chalk full of romanticized abuse and rape.

You can find some original stories few and far between, but unless you're a BL writer finding an audience is going to me hard.
3 years on my newest account (shut down three others due to hateful people including one who thought she was doing me a favor by rewriting my book for me) got me up to about 3k followers. I've been on tapas for 1.5 years and have already reached that again.

I really wouldn't recommend wattpad unless you're casually posting works you aren't interested in doing anything with, and are just looking to build a fanbase of children and teens who will demand updates every ten minutes and complain if the story doesn't go exactly how they want it
