The point of kudos is is for the reader to handle their side of the exchange and leave it at that, if they actually liked your fic rather than feeling it's just one more contribution to the masses of shit fandom outputs.

Fic authors aren't any more entitled to comments than readers are entitled to comment replies.

Only you'd never know that from their whining over how no one comments on their 200+ kudos fic, so I know who I feel are the more entitled ones. Fandom in general creates a culture of entitlement, but its authors/artists have no one to blame but themselves.

Pro authors don't demand every book reader leaves them a comment on how they liked it, their return is the money (and sometimes not even that). Get over it.

So, did you misfire horribly, or do you just have the reading comprehension of a mouldy mop?

Pro authors don't care about comments or reviews because they're getting paid for their work. See the difference?

Writers aren't entitled to comments, true. And readers aren't entitled to free fic. But you're fooling yourself if you think these two things don't drive each other.
