Reasons people may decline to comment or kudos on fanfiction they enjoyed:

They consider comments and kudos transactional compensation to the author, and they don't feel that the work was good enough to deserve compensation, or they don't believe they owe compensation to fan authors in general.

They consider comments and kudos as feedback, and they don't feel that the author wants or needs feedback from them.

However, comments and kudos aren't compensation, and they aren't even necessarily feedback either.

Comments and kudos for fan authors are:

encouragement to keep writing

reciprocation of a bid for connection

interaction with your community

confirmation that they're not the only one interested in their story

Please don't consider comments, or especially kudos, purely transactional or purely a form of feedback. Comments and kudos are a way to show authors in your community that you're glad they're there.

Authors aren't "entitled" to kudos or comments, but readers aren't "entitled" to fic, either.

Fanfiction is a community, and when an author repeatedly reaches out to their community for connection only to receive silence in return it is very discouraging and can result in the author withdrawing from the community altogether.

You know that whole you feel hungry but when you open the fridge you dont want anything in it. I'm feeling like that but for writing rn and let me tell you, real annoying that. Got a whole bunch of ideas, dont want to write a single one. And of course the want to write doesnt go anyway either, so its this very annoying limbo to get stuck in

Gahhhhh, brain, why must you be this way

They'd have fantasy HSN and QVC for "adding to the treasure hoard without raiding villages" purposes.

Elf TV: exclusively 300 season-long soap operas

Dwarf TV: How It's Mined followed by a 4½ hr documentary about salt

Gnome TV: those sensory videos for cats where bugs and mice and birds crawl around on the screen. they really like this

Orc TV: Mythbusters and Top Gear reruns

Halfling TV: the most incredible impassioned storytelling you've ever witnessed always neatly contained in 2 seasons max

Fairy TV: imagine Impractical Jokers except theyre capable of stealing people's faces . this is the only show that fairies have

someone: asks me a question

me: doesn't respond

my brain: "take me away, i don't mind, but you better promise me i'll get back in time"

And this, friends, is why you DO NOT rely on LLM's to give you accurate information on literally any topic.

Not only can they just straight up hallucinate "facts" and people that don't exist, they can be tampered with incredibly easily.

Elon saw his LLM was giving information he didn't like so he went in and changed it, first forcing it to constantly talk about white genocide and now to promote openly Nazi propaganda.
