I'm sincerely asking, what makes AO3 suck for you? And what other site would you recommend?

FF.net is where I used to go, but most of my fandoms are active on AO3.
Wattpad is cute for the "book covers"/image you can add for your stories and the interactive reader bits. But most of what I've found there is probably akin to things I wrote in middle school or my high school days. It's for the youth really.

And Tumblr is too scattered and messy I am constantly switching between this user and that user and this and that.

Old journals and fandom specific archives aren't active like they were ten, fifteen years ago. So what's the issue with AO3 and what alternative would you suggest? I ask sincerely, I don't think you're trolling.

The tagging sucks. I find it hard to find fics with all the crossovers dumped into the same category as the non crossover fics, and I still don't know how to search without having to try and remember how their weird search engine works. It seems like you have to know coding to know what to put in the search box to get results, and even then they are not great because of the tagging issues.

And the way its fans can't seem to speak well of it without first taking the time to trash any other fan fiction repository. That is never a good look.

There is an exclude crossovers option under more options in the sort and filter sidebar.

AO3 sucks because you can't figure out how to click a button? Because you can't be bothered to read the guide they give if you want to use search operators that can't fit in a nice side bar? That sounds like a YOU problem, not an AO3 problem.
