it "bothers me" because i had friends in this hobby who are no longer in this hobby because they tagged the wrong person and got their ass ridden by wg for weeks on end. it "bothers me" because i've tried to bring old friends i met in this hobby back and they take a look at what we've become and tell me they don't want to come back to this and i don't blame them. it "bothers me" because this was originally a hobby for people to have fun and now you're only allowed to have fun if it's in a safe space or is "group approved" enough that someone won't bother to try and kinkshame you or make fun of your shitty writing (and let's be real we are all shitty writers here)
in short, like i said, i think wg causes more problems than it solves. i think it's been that way for a while now. and while i agree with op that its time of usefulness (to the little extent it ever had a use) is long gone and it would be better closed, i don't see it ever closing. every hobby seems to have to have that subset of members who put down all the others for various arbitrary reasons.
