Aw. I was hoping someone would DDOS it.

“Yours truly, a 17 year old from India that thought they were doing something good.”

If this is true, I can cut some slack on the person being really, really fucking naive and acting on impulse instead of doing the bare minimum of talking to the actual authors.

“Why did I charge for AI Slop audiobooks? I doubt anyone knows how expensive it is to run a server like this, especially with the amount of usage this site got. It had 126,592 unique users within 24 hours of going up, and had terabytes of bandwidth in usage. In an attempt to keep the site up, I thought audiobooks were a good option. I sold like 11 audiobooks, if it’s any consolation.”

This shows how little this Ganesh thought things through. "It cost so much money!" - nobody affected cares, you acted the same way the abhorrent big tech companies do, slurping content en masse while giving the middle finger to the community responsible for creating and maintaining it.

Ah, some heros simply do not wear capes, taking down Vibed Coded sites gets an Angel their wings!

All as lord Gaben intended

I don't even know what AO3 is, and I'm not sure I want to at this point. 😅

Of course the people who use AO3 the most wouldn't be happy in the slightest about that site and especially the pay to listen audiobooks. Like, we don't need a vibe cuck coded clone ruining the reputation of both fanfiction and the largest fanfiction site in the world. Especially in a time where I guarantee fanfiction is under heavy scrutiny from dumbasses who say "ReAdInG bAd" alongside the elitist jackasses who don't consider it a valid form.of writing.

Also, the person behind the site really did a disservice to everyone by usong generative AI, which os the antithesis of fanfiction writing, IMO. Fanfiction writing requires some level of creativity, thought, and brain power. Vibe cuck "coding" a website is something someone whose brainwaves have completely flatlined could still do in their sleep.
