DA

That second thing doesn't work when people push for it, though. Or complain about feeling unappreciated or exploited without it. We're all trying to sort out the maelstrom where fandom got huge and full of people who were clueless about what the social rules in this space even were. And the most divisive of them treat everything they experience in fandom like a product to be consumed. Like, just because they're here in their free time, everyone else is supposed to be catering to them. This goes for the people who complain about reading fanfics they found upsetting, just as much as the fan-creators who expect readers to give them just the feedback they want. These might be almost-reasonable expectations for offline relationships with a small number of people that you know well enough to take their personal preferences into account. But when you try to map them onto the internet? It's complete bedlam. It's fanartists expressing dismay and rage because their art means something shippy to you and not to them. Of course fewer people are addressing strangers, when the possibility of giving offense and the social cost of it are both perceived to be high.

AYRT - Erm. But isn't this exactly why OP turned this feeling into a SECRET instead of yelling "HEY YOU COMMENT ON MY WORKS"?

Aside from that your reply confuses me but now I can tell you're one of the anti-antis people who go on this crusade against young people in fandom, which doesn't concern me on either side. I am tired of both sides of this war. So I wasn't talking about this at all.
