Clearly they didn't expect job offers, but I think they're saying they expected more interaction than they got? And thought it was their fault they didn't get it? Until they found a medium/genre with an active, engaged audience and realized they had some writing/communication skills after all?

I don't get how you don't get that.

NAYRT

I think everyone gets that, we are all puzzled about why they were comparing fanfiction to content writing in the first place.

Especially since they are doing the latter thing now. They should know it's completely different and not realistic in the least to compare the audiences and declare that one sucks and it was the fault of that audience that the OP didn't get the recognition they crave.

If you write mature humor to young people and they don't respond, then write mature humor to mature audiences and they love it, declaring "aha, it was the young people that sucked all along!" is pretty awkward because it was that comedian expecting unrealistic returns from the wrong audience.

But...it was their fault. They weren't writing good fiction. The fact that they write good non-fiction doesn't change that.
