This one is based off of something unpopular opinions series wiki that said that edits and fanfiction are underappreciated on this amino, which, for the longest time, has been a main point of critique/criticizm/complaint for this amino, and the only reason i know as to why people think edits and fanfiction (and just non-art posts in general) are underappreciated is because of how little they get featured vs how often art gets featured.
But let me put it to you like this, i want you, right now, to go to the latest feed, scroll down a bit and count the amount of art posts vs the amount of fanfiction or edit posts.
See? Art is a much more common type of post on this amino, so obviously its going to get featured more. Fanfiction is barley posted here, so of course its going to be barley featured, same goes with edits, though the amount of edits being featured has increased recently, but that, of course, is because edits are being posted more often.
Now, with that being said, i think its about time we cut the staff some slack for not featuring the minority more than the majority, because thats just ridiculous and unreasonable (not saying im perfect tho, cus my views on this were completely the opposite until just about now)
If you have any unpopular opinions that you would like featured in this series, comment them on my unpopular opinions series wiki

I think fanfictions are underappreciated in every fandom but edits not so much. Edits kind of go along in the art catagory and we all know art is always popular, mainly becuse it is pleasing to the eye.
I’m gonna have to agree.
Edits are honestly really popular here, idk why anyone would think they’re underappreciated here.
Fanfictions also gets alot of recognition, obviously they’re never gonna get as much attention as art,
The reason art is so much more popular is because it’s more accessible for people through the latest feed.
With art you can just take a look and it, like it and move on. With writing posts you have to actually take time to read it, which alot of people might not have as much time or patience to do.
They’re simply never gonna get as many likes and comments, even though they’ll usually be seen by the same amount of people, which is why people think they’re overlooked.
I kind of agree? I wrote two fanfics and they both weren’t as well received as my art.
