Dang. 2023 is not AO3's year at all, is it. This is like, what, the third or fourth time this year that I've gotten politely told to come back and read later, our servers are currently buffering like a YouTube video with bad bars. And this time I've even gotten forcibly logged out.

I'm not mad! I know better. I have other things to do than rage at what is an inconvenience to me and a horrible day for AO3. But…dang. People need to chill the hell out and give these poor people a rest
