So apparently this is the reason why PM's are getting removed the website says

"Wattpad is first and foremost a platform to read and write original stories, and we have transformed the way the world reads and writes fiction. Providing a platform to cultivate writing and reading communities has always been our top priority.

While dynamic, open commenting has always been embraced by our users, direct messaging has only been relevant to a small percentage of our global user base.

Users can still communicate via commenting on stories and profiles. Writers will also still be able to connect with their followers to share news and updates via their writer profile. "

WHAT THE FUCK NO APPARENTLY WATTPAD DOES NOT CARE THAT PEOPLE ARE FORMING BONDS, FRIENDSHIPS AND COMFORTING PEOPLE IN PRIVATE MESSAGES SO I THINK THE CREATOR OF WATTPAD MOST LIKELY SAW THE PETITION AND THINK ITS IRRELEVANT
