I've been in that position, where the only feedback you get--sometimes right after posting a new story/chapter--is "When's the next update?" It's awful to feel that taken for granted, and I completely understand that it can trigger issues well beyond the actual making of fanworks; it certainly did for me.

However, I don't necessarily think that behavior such as holding fics to review-ransom is the answer on either score. Even if you're only doing it silently, it's still reinforcing an idea that there's some kind of supply and demand, consumerist thing going on and that we're owed something for our hard work, when in reality we aren't owed jack.

It's great to recieve feedback and praise, but if expecting that's a major part of why you're doing it then you're only setting yourself up for hurt.
