also in general fandom spaces just thrive when you have people at least leaving love or appreciation toward people who do create stuff, since it does give incentive. i think you should always do it for the love of the game, but it's still nice to see people like your stuff

or people who look at fanart and go "now draw this" or "why did you do this character instead of this one?" and just start demanding you provide what they like

i think the problem comes from people who don't "contribute" yet still expect content catered toward them. like people who leave no comments or love for a fic, but the moment it doesn't update in a week they're like "um? where is the next chapter?" it's very entitled
