Wattpad is trash that enables and encourages people to steal and repost works (fanfics, translations, novels) from other people. Many of the 'writers/translators' repost things with a description like 'credits to the author' without mentioning the author or even a source (when it's easily googled up), 'only doing this for offline reading' (when they can just buy it to read offline or download for personal use but never repost/share it on another app) without any permissions from the original authors/translators just so that they can read it offline. Many 'writers/translators' even copy-right it or actively say that they were the original writers/translators, which is a complete lie. They do this unrepentantly and even if you DM them, they troll you. And that Wattpad allows this makes them worse than Instagram where lots of artwork is stolen or reposted without consent too. This is because Wattpad actually have mods - but they allow all this atrocity to happen.Maybe mods are blind and can't see all the obvious stealing going on (which is blatant on many of these thieves' descriptions). Or maybe Wattpad shouldn't even allow fanwork to be posted at all because of how this is happening at atrociously high rates.I don't know. But as long as Wattpad allows piracy to remain on their site, then it is trash.
