Kinda related/not related, one thing that FFN still has going for it is the vast majority of media that got popular in the 00s/early 10s have way way way more fanfics on ff net than ao3, so while ao3 is better in every way, I still would find myself going back to ff net to find various fics that just don't exist in that sheer amount on ao3. But other than that, for modern/evergreen media ao3 is by far the best bet.
Although I do kinda miss that whole time, but the FF purge was a sad day for sure, I mean some stories that got deleted didn't have hardly anything explicit in them
