>It's sort of frustrating because I'm submitting my writing specifically to get feedback...
Personally, I'm hesitant to give feedback or even comment unless I think I have something unique to offer or have an unusually strong feeling about the material.
I think a large part of it is the generally combative stance many people seem to default into online.
I quickly got tired of "So, what have you done better?" responses to what I think is polite, constructive criticism or a "What does this add to the discussion?" quip as a result of posting a simple show of appreciation.
I'm theorizing it's an overcompensation from the transformation of certain aggregators into something like a backpatting / validation request line.
