99% of everything is crap and always has been, but fewer authors threw flouncy hissy fits if you didn't pat their heads for churning out crap. Some of it may be platform-related, but vowing to quit fandom forever because your followers don't volunteer to illustrate your fic used to be reserved for the more dramatic BNFs. Love 'em or hate 'em, they'd at least been around long enough and produced enough material for their expectations of adulation to be only slightly ridiculous. Now, you've got about a 50-50 shot that an author is going to flounce if their readers don't fall all over themselves to reassure them that they're brilliant. Mostly, I don't care, although I think that one of the reasons people comment less on fic is that they're worried they'll get dogpiled if their comment isn't good enough. However, I do feel bad for the authors when they try to write original fic and can't figure out that the reason why no one wants it is because their writing ability stalled out when they were 15 and fandom told them it was okay not to try any harder.

But this is something I've always noticed in the fandoms I've been in. Some of the nastiest writers I've ever met were from fandoms I was in fifteen, twenty years ago and they weren't teens. They were older than I and they were throwing tantrums because people suggested that maybe putting an actual commercial break in your fic wasn't something the readers wanted to read. That got me banned from one of their message boards. :b
