I read a *lot* of fanfic back in the "old days", on LJ and before, and never, ever, ever commented. Neither did any of my RL friends who read fic.

In the days when you had to email the author to comment? Maybe .1% of people bothered. The first "comment" I ever left was an email to the author of my very favorite fic, which was the most popular one in a huge fandom, rec'd everywhere, and she emailed me back effusively saying it was so great to get feedback because she almost never heard from readers.

The difference isn't that fewer people comment now; the difference is you can actually tell, because we have ways to know they're there other than comments.
