no, it's the newbies who are wrong

You know, at the time I was quite frustrated with Livejournal as a platform for hosting fic, as were so many other people, but it was the best many people had access to until AO3 came along. And in retrospect, at least there was SOME semblance of navigability, if the mods or owners of the journal in question chose to use it.

I could never have conceived of a platform as bad for fic hosting as Tumblr, yet almost daily I scroll by posts from people who have wilfully placed it there even though AO3 exists now and is free to join and use.
