I sympathize with you, but I also think you care a bit too much about other peoples' opinions. If you want to write, then you should write. If you write and finish a thing, you might as well post it so other people can enjoy it, too. If it gets kudos and/or comments, those ought to be a bonus more than anything else, if the alternative option that you're honestly considering is not posting your writing at all. After all, not posting is a guarantee for not getting any attention whatsoever, so if you still write it's clear that attention is not the most important part for you; you've just forgotten that at some point.

If you completely stopped writing because you're indignant about other people getting more attention than you, then clearly it's not that important a hobby for you anyway.

I've never written a smut piece myself, yet the attention my fanfics get vary from fandom to fandom. In one I get a rare kudos here and there, while I know there are a lot of fics with way more kudos out there, indicating it's not a global problem but a my fanfic problem. In another my fics are showered in kudos and comments, and one of them is actually catching up to the good smut fics and have long surpassed the bad smut fics. In another fandom nobody gets much kudos or comments because the fandom is super tiny, so the few kudos I've scraped together feels like a huge victory. In yet another fandom it took a long time for my fic to even be noticed, but over the years said fic has racked up a respectable kudos and comment count on the sly. Point is, you can do well without smut in right fandoms if your writing is good in the first place, and even the more smut-oriented fandoms have people who are happy to read smut-free fics. Just give it some time.
