Agreed. There's no sure-fire way to tell what is going to be popular and what isn't. Even if a fic seems to hit all the right (or popular) notes that doesn't mean it'll get a rec. (And like you say, sometimes the fic being recced is crap. Of course it feels good for someone to acknowledge your work, but don't take that as a sign of quality. These things don't always make sense. Not everyone gets what they deserve in fandom.)

Plus, OP said nothing about comments or kudos. They might already have readers and still be disappointed by the lack of recs. (Which is silly, imo.)

Again, four months is NOTHING.

And I'm not sure if the OP thinks their beta is lying to them about the quality of their work or what, but either way the whole "I need a new beta" thing sounded pretty accusatory and rude.
