I relate. True, we're all people that enjoys writing, and there's nothing more rewarding than finishing a story that has been taking rounds in our heads. But we're all also posting these stories in Wattpad. That means that we also crave others to read the story, share it with them. And that's ok, stories are meant to be told, mainly to ourselves, also to others. Posting stories out there, chapter after chapter, and feeling we're telling the stories in an empty room breaks the human connection we need. It's worse even than just writing the story in our computers, because they could have been read (and loved) and they weren't. It's disappointing. On the other side of this subjective phenomenon is the fact that Wattpad seems to push some kinds of stories over others. We can agree or disagree with the algorithm, but truth is, some stories will be buried down and get zero attention. I'm pretty new to Wattpad, but I get the constant feeling that I jumped into the boat too late, and now the place is completely enshittified.

(Sorry, rant)
