That casting a wide net is another signal that the fic is going to be fucking pure shite though. That is how you get wall of tag spam, and it shoved into every category going and every character in it, or even thought about, being tagged. Writers that are happy to take the readers that come by and grow their fic by WoM are so much better than those who want their shite to show up in every search ever and crowd out the former type by their sheer volume of presence. That is why people are abandoning AO3 and going back to the pit of voles. Its harder to do the latter on the pit.
