How to show the authors why readers are kings:

[Motsu]

Create an algorithm that rates stories for 1 star and spams

And that, my folks, is how you become kings and the most amazing scum king in the world!

Spoiler: code to make the algorithm

Wait, there's no secret message colour coded inside? I just wasted my time?

Well, my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. I wish you all a good day, sirs and madams.

I felt cheated too

How about one that only rates my story with one star?

You could make a script that creates accounts to give your story one star with each of them.

It was not about the time you've wasted. It's about the message.

It was not about the time you've wasted. It's about the message.

A message that's an epilepsy-inducing way of saying "Syntax Error"?

Exessive 1-Star bombing gets filtered, so you either only showed the author for a moment or you actually write out why you don't like a story in which case you give constructive feedback. In both cases, the author would "win". Readers might be kings but in the democratic ages, kings are just a mascot and/or a waste of taxes.

you are a fool. kings can be guilotened, pupets can not.

kings still exist. they just call themselves oligarchs now. flexing their power in the back whilst pushing the blame onto their employees(polititians).

Then it's time to change tactics in order for readers to become kings.

It's time for authors to become the puppet!
