Has anyone here used the site? What were your experiences?

Brandon Sanderson and a few other authors are on there. I'm on there, although I'm a nobody in terms of being an author. Lots of others I know who sell well are on there, BUT, Wattpad doesn't necessarily translate into sales or at least sales that can be tracked. It's more of a thing where more exposure is better than none. A lot of the folks on there are actual readers, although it is my belief that the vast majority stick with free content rather than pay.
As for my experience, my free book has some 320k views or so. Some comments have some insight, others are not. I have had a couple readers ask where they could find the rest of my series.
