I disagree completely that having no comments or hits equals a bad writer (which infers the inverse is true). It's been discussed countless times here that a lot of good fic can get buried under the just tonne of fic out there and being a popular fic with lots of comments and kudos hits etc is usually more to do with being in line with what's popular and hits popular kinks as opposed to whether the fic has brilliant writing.
As an example, I point to 50 Shades of Grey whenever someone equates "popularity must equal good writing".
