OK, I think you're not understanding what's going on here, so I'll break it down for you.
There are some people who only like to read WIP. Because they don't have the time to follow a WIP, because they don't want to get invested only for it to not get finished, because they don't like cliffhangers, because they're entitled (??????). Whatever. There is a certain percentage of the readership that does this.
OP is saying that those people never comment on their fic. OP says they get no engagement from that readership. OP has assumed that the hits mean that people are reading the whole fic, enjoying the fic, and deciding not to comment because they're "assholes" and "leeches" and "can choke on it". OP has decided that if people aren't going to engage with their fic the way OP wants, OP is going to make sure that Those People don't see their fic by incorrectly labeling it in the archive.
But yes, it's the readers that are acting entitled by... filtering to read the fics that they want?(??????)
In any event, OP is the one taking action to lie to people because they're upset at their own assumptions and made themselves mad. "People aren't doing what I want, so I'm going to withhold something that I think they like."
