You don't have to like AO3 if you don't want to, but the specific things that you say here are ridiculously wrong.

Seriously, give it a rest.

Seriously, you give it a rest too.

Have you not noticed the entire "exclude" section of AO3's sidebar? It's not perfect by any stretch, and there is definitely a problem with people over-tagging and not tagging consistently, but if you really think FFN makes it easier to exclude unwanted criteria, I'm thinking you must have missed a pretty enormous chunk of AO3's interface.

[pantswarrior]

Yeah... I am wondering if OP is just in a fandom that really is particularly bad at tagging. I've found it exceptionally easy to find whatever I'm looking for every time I've looked at AO3... meanwhile at ff.net sometimes I can't even find fic that I know for a fact is there (sometimes even my own old fic, without chronologically scrolling through several pages of my own profile).

[(Anonymous)]

I think op went on AO3 once five years ago and hasn't been back since.

[feotakahari]

I was over creepy children’s rhymes when Dishonored tried to do it with “What Do We Do With a Drunken Sailor?”

[(Anonymous)]

That's a genius idea for playlists, honestly. Mine are mostly solely about my OCs or my fandoms, so if you've got fandom OCs, why not!

[(Anonymous)]

Criticize AO3 if you want, but to point out those specific things and say FF.net does them better just seems really weird and wrong.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I don't think AO3 is perfect, but it is a lot better than FF.net.

I think I might understand your problem though? Usually it's easy to filter (out) stuff until I get what I want. Partly because I'm not that picky, or the fandoms aren't that big.

Recently though I wanted to read fic about a specific character in the MCU, and well... Try looking in the 'Bucky Barnes' tag for fic that's actually about him and doesn't just feature him as one of a dozen other characters. Ship tags could maybe narrow it down? Not by much though, and you'd miss the gen ones. For ships there's a search 'otp:true', but the same thing doesn't exist for characters and even if it did, how many fics are tagged with 1 character?

So yeah, I am the first to sing AO3's praises (I have a monthly donation set up), but this one thing is annoying. It's oddly enough FF.net's lack of options for tagging/filtering that solves this problem.
