I hear you on the lack of comments :(
It can be disheartening. But although I've gotten better at leaving them lately, I know I pretty shy and unsure about commenting and didn't for a long time myself - not even counting that I know people don't always have the time/attention-span/English language skills, etc. I decided I don't mind posting my stuff anyhow - for all the younger me-s out there who might be reading & enjoying secretly.

But, yeah, a lot of readers and writers are very entitled - to content and comments respectively. I was really surprised by the amount of people who agreed with the comment padding secret.
But, hey, I can't change the world, only cultivate the kind of environment and readership I want my fic to have. And this might be entitled of me - but I know I get kind of unenthusiastic about leaving comments for fic writers who don't respond back, because one of the big conceits of fic in the first place is creating a dialogue about a piece of media. So if people are scared away from my own stories by 'comment-padding', they're people who probably didn't want to have the discussions I wanted to have in the first place. So it's probably for the best.
