One thing about shippers: they never truly leave. We might become less active, but all it takes is one edit, one interview, or one screenshot for them to return like we were never gone.
we used to be scared about not seeing our favourite fics finished, now we are scared about authors taking down their works off AO3 immediately after publishing because people got fucking mean to fic writers and complaining and too bold and ungrateful as fuck.
AO3 is not social media, it's a library. Fanfic is not content, it's a hobby. Fic writers are not published authors who should stay out of fan spaces. They ARE fans. Fic readers are not clients or customers, they're fellow fans. The sooner people realise all that, the better.
