I tend suck at giving feedback to all the people who deserve it myself. So, I'm not being judgemental.
But unless you are a BNF of vidding with your own cheersquad or just have supportive (ie commenty-type) friends - ie friends who suck less than I do. Well, unless you fall into those categories, vids don't tend to get a lot of feedback comments in general. And yes, it could be partly because it's easy to sit back and watch a vid (over and over), but it takes a bit of effort to hit the comment/reply button or send an email.
And fics? Ever notice how WIP get a lot more comments while they are being posted than oneshots (even accounting for the different number of chapters)? If people think commenting will get them something (like more chapters quicker) then they'll comment. If it's a oneshot and they'll get no more whether they comment or not, the "not" option is often taken.
And have I mentioned before my tendency to ramble in random comment posts?
Anyways, got to hit the road (back to Sydney) soon.
