Secret 1 - Fanfiction
I would classify readers pleading for updates as a "Big Name Fan problem".
No one likes to be told "do this or else", so of course authors don't want to hear threats about what you'll do if they don't update.
"Pleeeeease update" adds pressure to an author's life, and many people don't need that.
But "You finally updated!" or "So glad this story isn't abandoned!" just expresses: commenter is reading your story; commenter is enjoying your story; commenter did not lose interest and wander off to do something else during the (possibly quite lengthy) hiatus. So cool your jets! What's next, you'll get made if someone says "Yay! Update!"? I guess I just won't say anything at all if I don't have something substantial to say. But then I guess you won't mind, because you have eight hundred million comments already.
