Yes. They're not appreciating our fic, they're leaving meaningless kudos as part of their own narcissistic crusade.

“Narcissistic crusade” Lol Yeah, okay. Whether you think the kudos are meaningless or not, that’s whatever. But there’s no good reason to assume the intentions of the people leaving them. Appreciating that a fic exists and leaving kudos to show it might not mean anything to you over knowing that the fic itself has been read and enjoyed, and that’s fine. But it’s silly to think that the kudos you don’t like are only being left to make the person leaving them feel like a good person. How would that even work? Who feels like a better person by leaving kudos anyways?

The author of the secret does, and everyone else doing this bullshit. It's inherent in their intent. Are you new to humanity or something?

Most people prefer honest feedback on their fic. Thus is not that.

[(Anonymous)]

Am I new to humanity? Wow, that’s a weird comeback. So if I don’t agree that OP only leaves “I appreciate that this exists” kudos just to feel like a good person, which is clearly an opinion and not an objective fact, I must be new to humanity? Pretty sure every human that lived before AO3 was invented and implemented kudos was still a human, even though that would mean they wouldn’t be able to understand this secret on principle. It really is an opinion about whether OP is doing this to feel like a good person. Humanity is not based on opinion. It would still be debatably wrong, but “Are you new to the internet” would have made way more sense. (This has been another episode of me over-analyzing and splitting hairs over a simple comeback, wasting everyone’s time in the process.)

It’s fine to want honest feedback. But sometimes people either don’t want to read a fic, or can’t because of triggers, but still want to show that they appreciate the fics existence. It’s fine if you don’t like that, and feel that it’s meaningless. I don’t agree, I would still be happy with those types of kudos. Not as happy as more traditional kudos and comments, though. But I don’t spend for everyone.
