Some comments do that. But I don't see how someone leaving a comment that just says "Loved the fic! thanks so much for writing" really gives you that information.

Not all comments are created equal. But the ones that have actual content are gold.

I get why people like good comments. But if you're specifically comparing comments and kudos, if you make people who leave kudos leave comments instead, they're probably going to be more along the lines of "Loved the fic!" than they are going to be really in-depth engaging feedback.

NAYRT
I think someone being willing to actually type words about something, even if they're not very detailed is a bigger sign of positivity toward the writing, at least. People talk all the time about how they kudos anything they get to the end of. And "I finished this" is not as encouraging as "I liked this."

Wait...what?? But why?

(Anonymous) 2017-05-05 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
because even though it's not a comment it's still an acknowledgement and a thank you for writing a fic?

I always thought "kudos" meant a positive response, not just an acknowledgement?

I feel like people who leave kudos just because they read something are missing the point of kudos and making them less useful :|

(Anonymous) 2017-05-05 12:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow, if they really kudos anything they get to the end of or not just things they like... then my fic is even worse than I thought. I am happy if I get 1-2 kudos on most fics, and I had hoped it meant that a couple people at least liked it. Maybe not, then :(

I do realize I write rarepairs and unpopular characters of a closed canon, but still :(

Im in a small fandom. Seeing WHO comments, even those "I loved this" comments that aren't in depth feedback, tells me something that kudos do not. Like, there are fans that like things really neat and simple and sweet, and ones who are drawn specifically to complexity, and people I disagree with on characterisation and others I agree with, etc.
