Sure, but most people are smart enough to realize that no author no matter how good can write a reader character that applies perfectly to every single reader.

That's true, but I think there's still a reasonable expectation that it's going to be a somewhat generic, "blank" character that many people would be able to write themselves onto, rather than someone with a really specific characterization.

I think the best use of "you" in fiction tends to read like memoirs or epistolary works. Ted Chiang's The Story of Your Life or Haralambi Markov's The Language of Knives. But in that case, it's pretty clear that the narrator isn't talking to me, I'm just an eavesdropper.

But then in that case, you get extremely flat characters that are not believable at all. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
