Podfic query

[starrylizard]

I've been downloading some podfic of late (having great fun comparing accents and reading styles) and I can't help but notice that there are very few comments on most of them.

Is there a different fandom etiquette when it comes to podfic to other fandom works? Are the comments going elsewhere or (as I sadly suspect) are people just lame about bothering to leave comments? Or is it that the podfics are posted and reposted in so many comms that the comments are just very spread out?

From reading topics on how to podfic it looks like an awful lot of effort that goes into them, so it'd be sad if nobody acknowledges it even with a thank you, downloading type comment.

Edit: After chatting to a few people, it seems if you comment directly on the archive it may not get to the reader. So following the link backs is better. Just in case anyone was wondering.

Well yeah, most fanworks you need to take that stance somewhat, I'm just amazed by the fact that there are NO comments on most of them. I always thought it was polite to at least let someone know you're grabbing it and leave a thank you.

Just seems a little rude imo. Some of them have quite delightful reading voices too. Just thought maybe I was missing something. Pity it's just people being lazy about commenting as usual.

Cheers
