These seem like vertical versions of Patreon... I think I don't like the communitarian focus or platform level control model. But I can see it would work for community centric writing.

Does "break into your target genre publishing industry" mean "cultivate an audience of readers who will follow you to a paid self-publishing platform like Kindle and give it enough inertia (reviews/purchases) there for it to take off and start making money?" If so, then yeah.

I think the biggest "killer feature" of serialized fiction sites like Wattpad is author motivation: toiling away in private for long enough to write an entire book is hard. Writing 1 chapter per week is comparatively easy; comments from readers provide a steady dose of motivation

HUGE site, mostly teen/millennial, and 85% mobile!!! 85%!!! Totally destroys the idea teens don't read ebooks (kids/YA ebook sales are small). The goal of the site is really social afaik. Most contributors are hobbyists, having fun &/or learning to write.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
