You're not wrong, lol. But even in the general comments section people talk about reading wiki articles about canons rather than experiencing them, not commenting for whatever reason, or even not engaging with fandom at all; it's the IRL comments that get the most traction, the wellness ones or weekend plans.

I've been on fandomsecrets since the livejournal days and that might be part of it; it seemed like people were so much more interested. Granted, social media had changed a lot of things.

I feel like many more people here used to do fandom on livejournal or dreamwidth and I wonder how much of a difference that makes. Things have definitely changed, but it’s often hard for me to put my finger on it exactly. What’s a function of just being much smaller and quieter? What’s a function of being less directly connected to the places where people do fandom? How much is related to a general feeling (both online and off) of rising pessimism and belligerence?

Anyway, I would include those GC comments you mentioned as part of a larger “venting/confessing” space. I wouldn’t comment here about how I consistently comment on fanfic or how I re-watch or re-read the things I’m really into. I consider those “normal, enthusiastic fandom behavior” that doesn’t merit mention. Whereas any shame about not having actually watched/read something, only cribbing from the wiki, or any guilt about not commenting enough… those are things I’d specifically let out on FS.
