The engagement ladder has an unmodeled implication: as fans climb from consumption to co-creation (becoming writers), they develop stronger AI resistance, not weaker. Writers showed 83.58% representation among AI opponents despite being only 57% of sample, and veteran writers (10+ years) showed strongest resistance. This suggests the co-creation tier of the engagement ladder creates identity investment that makes participants defend their creative role against AI replacement, which has design implications for community IP strategies.

AO3 represents the co-creation rung at extreme scale without the ownership component. 17M+ works across 77K+ fandoms with 10M registered users demonstrates that co-creation engagement can reach massive scale purely through community cohesion and shared infrastructure, independent of financial ownership stakes. This provides a boundary condition: ownership may accelerate growth but is not required for sustained co-creation at scale.

AO3 reached 17M+ works and 879M weekly page views (125M daily) with zero editorial curation, using only folksonomy tagging and community self-selection (kudos, bookmarks, comments as social signals). The platform grew 22% year-over-year in 2025 despite being 17 years old, demonstrating that community filtering scales without quality gatekeeping. AO3's 'Don't Like, Don't Read' policy with tag-based discoverability proves community-filtered content can achieve massive scale.

AO3 demonstrates community-filtered IP at massive scale (17M+ works, 879M weekly page views) with zero editorial curation. The platform uses folksonomy tagging and social signals (kudos, bookmarks, comments) for discoverability instead of quality gates. 22% year-over-year traffic growth in 2025 shows community filtering scales without degrading as the archive grows. The 'Don't Like, Don't Read' policy proves that parallel narratives can coexist when community self-selection replaces editorial authority.
