It isn’t activism, they are in part funded by an oil heiress. It’s meant to paint activism in a bad light to justify attacks against legitimate activists.

Climate Protesters Throw Soup At Van Gogh's 'Sunflowers', Glue Themselves To Wall

The group Just Stop Oil targeted the painting at London’s National Gallery to protest fossil fuel extraction.

@ Gen Z... What the fuck is wrong with you? How does this help? How does this accomplish anything? Do you even know anything about Van Gogh? How can you call vandalizing an impoverished artist's work activism?

I hate you I hate you I hate you I hate you.

This is not climate activism. This is attention-seeking bullshit.

Can anyone make a version of this for volume seven Blake?

So basically I saw that gif of LoK where she chops her hair off and thought “I bet I could rotoscope that and make her Zelda” and then I did that. And then I made the hair way more complex because I hate myself and I love pain and suffering.  

“I think I love you.”

NOT ONLY DID THEY KISS BUT BLAKE POPPED HER LIL FOOT. I’M STILL MELDED TO THE FLOOR.

Writer Problems

When you lose interest in a story that you’re writing but YOU HAVEN’T LOST INTEREST IN THE STORY, YOU’VE JUST LOST INTEREST IN THAT PARTICULAR PART THAT YOU’RE WRITING AND YOU WANT TO GET TO THE GOOD STUFF THAT YOU’RE ACTUALLY INTERESTED IN BUT YOU CAN’T DO THAT WITHOUT FINISHING THE BORING PARTS

I’ve seen five different authors take down, or prepare to take down, their posted works on Ao3 this week.  At the same time, I’ve seen several people wishing there was more new content to read.  I’ve also seen countless posts by authors begging for people to leave comments and kudos. 

People tell me I am a big name fan in my chosen fandom.  I don’t quite get that but for the purposes of this post, let’s roll with it.  On my latest one shot, less than 18% of the people who read it bothered to hit the kudos button.  Sure, okay, maybe that one sort of sucked.  Let’s look at the one shot posted before that - less than 16% left kudos.  Before that - 10%, and then 16%.  I’m not even going to get into the comments.  Let’s just say the numbers drop a lot.  I’m just looking at one shots here so we don’t have to worry about multiple hits from multiple chapters, people reading previous chapters over, etc.  And if I am a BNF, that means other people are getting significantly less kudos and comments.

Fandom is withering away because it feels like people don’t care about the works that are posted.  Why should I go to the trouble of posting my stories if no one reads them, and of the people who do read them, less than a fifth like them?  Even if you are not a huge fan of the story, if it kept your attention long enough for you to get to the bottom, go ahead and mash that kudos button.  It’s a drop of encouragement in a big desert. 

TL;DR: Passively devouring content is killing fandom.
