I'd half agree, but the ones that seem like they're trying to roll a boulder uphill and shrieking about its being so hard are the people who go to a site where no one is obligated to comment and feel gypped by the amount (or lack) of comments they get.
While I think a lot of the rest of us went, "this is an archive where my work - and everyone else's - will not be censored by busybodies or deleted by corporations. I can download anything I want with the click of a button. I can invite everyone I know who writes for canons and doesn't have a safe place to keep their writing. We can socialize or not as we please. Having an account doesn't cost me a penny. And this is the most fine-grained search function I've seen anywhere. I have truly discovered paradise."
