I remember what this
website used to be. So many people would use it every day - not
for drama, not for faves or followers or comments or anything
like that. Top quotes could have up to 3000 faves, at least
six/seven/eight hundred. Spam messages were pretty rare, and
although you did get trolls, they were ignored pretty often. You
could refresh the 'New Quotes' page every half minute and
get tons of totally new quotes. The majority of quotes were
original. The vast majority weren't made for faves, and many
didn't get more than ten, but at least everyone made them.
Top quotes were original and interesting - they were funny, or
cute, or inspiring, or memorable. Now what? Now top quotes get
300 faves, tops. Traffic's slow, people are spamming comments
all the time, and more users are interested in having followers
and faves than making decent quotes. People steal formats all the
time, and most quotes are just copies off of tumblr or something
like that. Troll accounts are the norm, stupid accounts for
'witty gossip' are around, people delete and report
quotes and users out of nothing but spite, more quotes are
complaints than any other topic. It's no fun to come on here
any more. The great users, the beautiful format makers, the
inspiring quote writers - they're hardly active. Many have
left, either because it was time, which is fair enough, or
because they hated where this website was going. It's not
more than spite nowadays. & I wonder what new users think. I
remember when I first joined, I thought it was a really cool
site, but now it's just dull. It's just boring and
annoying and sad. I'm genuinely thinking about leaving too,
because even though I couldn't care less about how many faves
this or that quote gets and my follower account doesn't
affect my activity at all, I'm getting really freaking tired
of trolls, spammers, idiots who can't take another
person's opinion, drama, and all this unnecessary bull that
seems to be the nrom nowadays. And I know that whenever people
bring it up - because they have, I've read quotes talking
about this exact problem - they're either ignored, or the
quote is bombarded with idiotic comments like how directioners or
witty-famous people ruined it. No! The fact is, no-one is
favouriting stuff anymore. The problem is, very few users are
writing decent, honest-to-god decent quotes. The freaking thing
is, witty has become really freaking annoying. I hate it, and all
I can do to change that is keep on using the website like I wish
everyone did. Make quotes because you want to, even if the
format's dull. Fave every quote you like. Follow whoever you
want - it's not 'trendy' or whatever to follow two
people, it's just a choice and you don't have to do it
just because a witty-famous person does it. Don't report a
quote unless it genuinely needs reporting. Don't spam,
because it's annoying and useless and stupid. If you want
this website to go back to how it was, then stop complaining and
stop doing exactly what you're freaking complaining about.
Ignore the trolls, ignore the stupid 'gossip' accounts,
literally use the ignore feature to block people if you hate
seeing their quotes all the time. Ignore those who can't
accept your opinion - it's your opinion and they're
approval doesn't affect it in any way. To the idiots here,
stop messing up this website. For some users, it's their
(only) space to let out steam. Stop it, because if you don't,
before you know it, witty won't have any amazing users left
because you'll have driven them all away. Right. Okay. That
felt good. #rantover
