1. As a whole, the fandom audience doesn't seem to comment as much as they used. to.

2. Or perhaps you just don't pander as much as you used to.

#2 is a good point and (I'm sure) not to meant to be insulting. Fanfic tropes are popular because that's what the reader wants. Their faves drinking coffee and flirting and complaining about hard tests, instead of sobbing ugly cries because all their friends are dead.

to a reader, too much originality can feel a little risky, when they want pretty people snowed in so they don't have to go to work and just get to sit around with their crush.

I get this too, supposedly your writing improves over time but I get fewer and fewer comments. The only fic that gets lots of comments is BNF pwp stuff and being a BNF these days means getting popular on Tumblr so yes, not an option for me as I rarely write explicit stuff and get burned out if I spend too long on Tumblr. Too many posts on Tumblr saying authors are "entitled" if they want comments and giving excuses as to why it's too difficult for people to bother, despite authors saying that feedback is why they post.
