here’s the thing: WHY keep infinite scrolling enabled if users reading posts is that bad?
also, won’t this policy destroy ad revenue? maybe he thinks ad revenue can be replaced by paid users, but making your site unusable is a quick way to disincentivize people from paying for the service…
finally - maybe if he hadn’t fired all his most competent teams of engineers they could have helped him engineer blocking systems against web scrapers lol
It does… one at a time. It’d be useful to be able to select more than one. G&T but not higher, M&E only, everything but E for those who just don’t like smut. (btw I just checked and there is none of the exclusion filters showing on the search page at least in my computer)
AO3 does ‘and’ filters.
You don’t filter for M&E. You filter for not the other stuff.
I have never seen so many users clearly baffled by and too skittish to push buttons/toggles that are very clearly meant to be used.
If a trusted website has a button and you don’t immediately know or understand what it does, push it. Check out every drop down, every link, every configuration imaginable. Be adventurous. Fuck around and find out. If it breaks the website, they shouldn’t have had that button in the first place. Not on you. Indulge your curiosity instead of complaining it doesn’t do something it absolutely does if you poke around a little.
You’re not going to get a bad grade in filtering by using interface features from AO3, I promise.
Look, there are library systems that don’t have filters as good as AO3. You have to learn how to use Boolean operators (AND OR NOT) and construct a proper query to exclude in several academic databases, and AO3 just performs “NOT” for you by clicking a button.
Do you know how many grad students would love to have the kind of power you have with AO3 in filters?
Ao3 filters are amazing. You can filter out ratings, you can filter out characters or pairings, you can filter out specific tags (as long as it’s an official tag)! (Type it in under “other tags to exclude”)
This is why the antis complaining about seeing content they don’t like on Ao3 is so frustrating. If something squicks you out, filter it, and you never have to see it again! Voila! Or even if it is just something you don’t like. I have High School AUs filtered out because I just don’t like them! It’s an amazing system and makes it so easy to curate your experience.

People in america need to wake up to the fact they’re trying to kill us on a daily bases feeding is things that are illegal in most countries
It probably wasn’t pesticides. It was more likely a difference in the amount of gluten in the bread.
North American bread has a much higher gluten content, because there is a higher gluten content in North American wheat and other grains. This is because the grains need it to survive the generally colder climates of North America, so they’ve been bred to have a higher gluten content, which helps insulate the grains from the cold.
So it’s not that the higher amount of gluten is illegal in other places, it’s simply just not necessary, and so it’s not there.
And so North American people who have gluten intolerances often see relief when they eat European bread, due to it not containing the extra gluten.
This is an incredibly common phenomenon.
If you are a North American with a gluten intolerance, now doubting the legitimacy of that because of this video or screenshot, I promise they aren’t poisoning you, they’re just trying to make sure that people in North America can have their own wheat, flour, and bread without the logistics and high price of shipping it across the Atlantic Ocean.
saw this rbed without this addition (i already knew this but u can look it up if ur unsure) n you guys should rb this version instead! our (meaning American ) government sucks but not EVERYTHING is a conspiracy some things are the way they are for many different reasons and it sucks but it is what it is i promise u American bread isn’t being poisoned by the govt .
I NEVER get tired of this video. It would be fantastic if the bird was just flying near him, but the fact it feels safe and comfortable enough to land ON his paraglider, isn’t startled when he pets it, and is NIBBLING HIS SHOES… blessed moment, absolutely fabulous, 10/10 gold stars.
i don’t know who needs to hear this but if you ever wrote livejournal or fanfic dot net or even wattpad fic back in the day that you aren’t totally embarrassed of….repost it on AO3 now. you don’t have to actively write there now, use a different username even, but for archiving purposes it is so important. and with streaming and other things making older fandoms becoming popular again, newer fans are going to AO3 and not finding any of the wonderful history of the fandom. please if you see this and you don’t write fanfic but you have a favorite on another site PLEASE tell them to repost it to AO3. not just so more people will see it but for posterity.
