The bitterness and petty behavior has always been there, but as with a lot of old fandom issues it was on a much smaller scale because the number of people casually online was a lot less than today. So you'd get like a fandom BNF getting snotty about 'not enough' people reading their fic, and on the other side the people who were annoyed at those BNF's withholding fic they wanted to read.

But now with more people those attitudes are more widespread because fandom numbers have increased. I think this along with the culture shift of social media has made fandom even more focused on the numbers their fanwork does instead of focusing on the hobby part of it first. Never mind the added issue of hustle culture where hobbies are to be monetized or you're failing somehow only adds to this very weird environment online where everyone feels like everyone else owes them something(but they owe others nothing).

I don't know if it will change or shift, but atm I just steer clear of either 'side' and keep to myself because everything about modern fic-culture in fandom is offputting to me as both a reader and a writer.
