As much as I absolutely love Wattpad and its actual purpose of spreading people's writing globally, I can't help but notice that no-so-much the site itself but the people on the site screw it up.
Recently, I've seen a growth in utter bullshit like ship rate books, character journals, art stealing books, among many other problems. They're a problem because it's not what Wattpad is supposed to be used for. I would love to just point some out to prove my point.
Character journals
I know I complain about these a lot but they're starting to pop up more and more.

Say you're searching up hetalia on Wattpad which is sorted by how popular they are among other things. Scroll long enough and you find one of these.

I found this one quickly. It has 6K reads and 100 "entries". Now look inside it.

I don't mind that the first chapter is short, I mean, things take time to develop but it should be a lot longer.

100 entries later and they're even shorter. THIS IS NOT WHAT THIS SITE IS USED FOR.
This site is to write, you share your skill and thoughts with the world. WHY THE FUCK IS THIS ON THE SITE? ITS NOT ELABORATING ON WHAT HAPPENED OR ANYTHING. NO, ITS JUST A SENTENCE WITH NO MEANING.
Zodiac books
I hate zodiac books. I don't mind that you like zodiac stuff, I do, but you can literally find everything in the zodiac books anywhere else.

There's so many of them and none of them really do much but fill up space. They could use them to do SOMETHING but no they just exist for the sake of it.
Ugh...
There's more I can complain about but after seeing this:

I don't even have the will to write anything more.
I will continue on tomorrow's stream before I start reading My Immortal. Await that because I need to complain about this shit. I'm sick of it.
