That's true, but it's also true it's easy to pick bad habits specially when it comes to writing and doubly so with grammar/spelling.

If not one bothers to point "In this part did you mean "bought" instead of "brought"? Because as it is, it doesn't makes sense" then the author (me, in this example, since no one bothered to point me that and I noticed it years later. I'm still embarrassed at the mix up) could keep making the same mistake.

Unless someone watches your every move like a hawk and smacks your hands with a ruler every time you misspell something or abuse commas, you're going to have bad habits of some sort, regardless of whether or not some stranger on the internet occasionally leaves a critical review on your fanfiction. I just don't think that criticism on fanfiction is that vital.

(Though I wouldn't consider pointing out (what I assume to be) a typo to be criticism. It's like correcting someone's botched html. Doesn't say anything about their skill as a writer.)

And being aware that something is a mistake makes easier to stop repeating it. And how can anyone be aware if they don't better and no one bother to tell them? That's my point.

(I don't think pointing grammar/spelling mistakes is the same as pointing typos (or html problems). The first counts (imo) as (mild and basic) concrit, the second is more of a heads-up.)
