Title.

The new Ao3 wank I can't escape is that it sounds like the site has 1.5 million in funds and someone in a finance meeting said that could keep them running for 2-3 years. This is a "suspicious" and "unheard of" amount of money for a nonprofit to have, and I'm hearing all sorts of overblown takes about how it's proof that OTW is run by a bunch of clueless and incompetent people and no one should donate to them again. e.o

Friendly reminder that AO3 is the 7th most popular arts/entertainment website on earth. That means AO3 gets more traffic than Disney Plus, more traffic than Hulu, more than Prime Video, more than Wattpad, more than HBOmax, more than Soundcloud [source].

When you get so many ads at once that the site you’re on crashes and you have to reload the page.

i hate to argue but wouldn’t a better title be “the legend of links”
