"Nobody messes with the mouse!"
There is no mouse in your larder, just like there are no edible birds left on SH.
Given that the most TL stories I saw had at least a link to patreon in their synopsis with advanced chapters, I'd say it's correlated, but not the side effect. There's a reason AO3 has strict TOS about monetization and this enforcement probably has the same reasons as AO3. Basically it's eliminating FA part of FAFO that was here for long.
The "Tip" button still displays properly on non-fanfiction stories, so don't worry! Overall, I think this and the translation removal update was a step forward.What if I have one original and one fanfic?
Checked their content policy. Stolen MTLs are against their rules under Copyright infringement and Plagiarism. AI slop is allowed, as long as it's fanfiction AI slop.
