hello to you too!
what you seem to be forgetting is that most rec accounts are born from people wanting to share what they read with others to find their own community and have somewhere they can talk about the stories they have enjoyed.
speaking for myself here — my account was literally ONLY an archive where i used to put the things i enjoyed reading and wanted to remember. the fact that slowly more people started to find it out and happened to enjoy the same things as me was a lovely non-planned plus that made me transform my account in a proper recommendation one. but that doesnt mean that i don’t have my own preferences, my own tastes and my own opinions 😊 it’s simply impossible for me to like everything from everyone (i will never even manage in one lifetime to actually READ everything from everyone) so it seems only fair, to me, that i give priority to what sounds interesting, again, TO ME. seems only fair to do on my very own account, or am i wrong?
i dont read fics to reach a diversity quota. i read as a means to enjoy what free time i have. i certainly don’t organize my recommendations based on smaller or bigger authors, on more or less kudos, on a bajillion comments or three of them. i LOVE when i can recommend fics with very little engagement to try and make other people interact with them when i do find them, but that will not always be the case. sometimes im going to read the same fic 30 thousands other people have read already and i’m going to enjoy it and i’m going to share it with the people on here. is that a crime now? do let me know!

i’m certainly not holding u here with locks and chains! go find your own community or if you have so much to say about rec accounts in general, go make your own! just take care of telling me which one it is so that we don’t cross paths since our opinions and tastes are this different. have a great one!
