I also feel like this whole fandom culture has really pulled away from giving/receiving feedback of any kind. If you're not leaving comments full of praise then authors don't want it.

I definitely feel that many fandoms ime have turned to a product based style instead of a community based style. Like it's not about creating and sharing fic and talking about that fic and bouncing off ideas, it's just churning out quick fic no matter the quality to see who can get the most hits or highest stats or whatever.

AYRT.

Eh. I am not sure what you mean by comments "full of praise" but I don't think authors only being open to full-throated praise is really part of the problem I am talking about. It's actually much lower effort to say something nice than it is to give concrit, and what I'm saying here is that writers often won't even take the effort to say anything nice about other people's fics -- or indeed, even read other people's fics at all -- let alone take the time to give them more detailed criticism or feedback. I'm talking about fic writers who post all these fics and then complain about low feedback, and then when you look at the recent fics in the same tags they're posting in, they haven't read *anybody* else's fic. So it's like, well, if everyone in this fandom behaved the same way you're behaving (and many of them do), no wonder you don't have any feedback...

I agree with your second point, though.
