No? I mean, yeah, it's part of the whole "fandom" thing that you're taking part in a community and a conversation. And I've yet to see ANY fanwork on AO3 that doesn't have some recognition and engagement.

The issue is that getting recognition or engagement from people who WANT to have that conversation with you isn't enough for the people we're talking about. They want MORE and they think they deserve it because they "worked" (no longer a hobby, then) and often times it can only be a certain type of conversation (how awesome they are). The OP said it themselves, the "artists feel exploited". How do you feel exploited voluntarily doing a hobby unless you feel like you are owed something for doing it that you're not getting?

I'm the anon who was commenting before, and walked away from the conversation when the anon I was talking with told me to "stop doing" something I never did.

I wanted to comment on your post because it seems entirely on target to me.
