As someone with anxiety disorder and paranoia who can't comment ANYTHING with a username attached to them (hence why F!S is basically the only site where I write on), sure feels nice to be called a leech just because I don't have the courage to comment a fanfiction lol.
I know this is not the case you're highlighting on your secret, but still applies because I read fics and don't comment. I'll probably read your WIP (I read WIPs of small fandoms) or completed fanfiction, but I'll never comment on it nonetheless. The most I do is leave an anonymous kudos. I sometimes leave more than one kudos because I read FFs using different devices and IPs.
Bonus: as someone else already pointed out, hits counting is an useless metric. It doesn't mean someone read your fanfiction.
