I would blame you because the story being recommended, (y’know, the one in the degrading comment) is YOUR story. If you weren’t the one spamming it, then who? Is it someone you know? Someone you work with? What reason would an outsider have to boost your story, to make/pay for bots to spam recommendations or insults? Why would anyone but you do it? Who else would benifit from that? I simply don’t believe you. If you’re not the cause then you should probably find who’s doing it and put an end to it, since I know plenty of AO3 authors who, like me, won’t put up with this.

I keep getting spammed by bots advertising this story. I see that there are no other comments calling this out, so I can only assume the author is deleting them. If my review gets deleted ill just leave another, so on so on. Your behavior is predatory. It’s also illegal.

I’d appreciate if you stopped insulting and spamming my AO3 with comments.

I keep getting insulted and spammed by bots with advertisements for this on my own writing. Speaking with others in my community I know they’re getting spammed too. Predatory, shameless behavior. Illegal, too.

I got this wonderful spam (sarcasm) on my fanfic today. Really not thrilled that you’re using my writing to advertise you plagiarized, expensive af story (if the other reviews are anything to go by).

As one of the writers getting spammed on my fanfic, I’m not very inclined to finish or leave a nice review on this story. You’re shameless.
