When reading a fic, do you prefer one PoV or two? Two being that every other chapter goes between the main character and their main love interest.

FANFIC POLL
I was discussing with some fandom friends how fanfic culture seems to have shifted from mostly comments to silent reading (though I'm very blessed with ya'll on TRT, thank you). And that makes me wonder what the reason is - I've seen a lot of theories and people asking that question but I figured I'd poke ya'll and see what I find.
This question is mostly directed towards those that never comment on a fanfic or rarely comment on a fanfic. If you usually comment or always comment (thank you!), you're totally good on this one.
To fanfic readers who do not comment, why don't you comment?
Commenting makes me anxious/stressed
I'm too tired to comment
I'm afraid of someone judging me for what I read if they find my comment
I don't like being tracked/leaving a trail
I don't think fanfic writers should expect comments
If I don't have time to leave a big long comment I don't like commenting at all
I don't want to bother the author
Nuance/Other (feel free to explain in the comments or tags)
I always or almost always comment
Please reblog for a large sample size, I'm legitimately curious

author's rant...
Well hi! Those who follow me know I don't often post personal posts like this -but I've sat on this for a minute and I have to say something. So, I've been seeing a few posts from some people here complaining about fanfic-related things. Stuff like why fics aren't this or that topic, why writers aren't writing certain fics, and so on. As a fic writer myself, I do my best to put out content that I have spent time on, and enjoy writing and/or reading. I know it won't always be to everyone's tastes. BUT... I gotta say, it's incredibly annoying or disheartening to read posts that literally complain about fanfics that don't cater to an individual's tastes. This isn't even about people not being able to express opinions because by all means, provide feedback. As writers, we feed on that sort of stuff, and there often isn't enough feedback. BUT some of these comments aren't what I would call feedback, they're simply complaints. There are authors here and on other sites that put their time, efforts, ideas, soul sometimes, etc to provide content for readers to consume FOR FREE, and yet still there are those who have the audacity to moan that it isn't enough. Like, why not try writing something yourself that caters more to what you want to read? I know not everyone likes to, or believes that they can, write -but we live in an age where there is basically so much help for those unable or unconfident to do so unaided. Give it a try maybe, get the ball rolling? Or sit down and put down your ideas and try to write yourself? You never know unless you try, you might come out with something that not only you love but others might too? I get you can't please everyone all of the time, but I can't stand the ingratitude/demands of some of these attitudes, as if having people write fanfics for free is something they feel entitled to. Any writers out there, I'd love to hear any thoughts on this. Surely it can't just be me who gets a bee in my bonnet about this? For the less outspoken ones out there, there's a short poll at the end of this post.
Meanwhile, rant over. Thanks for reading!
Is it reasonable to make demands/complaints about fanfic/fanfic writing?
Yes, for sure. Give us what we want. ✅
No, absolutely not. Fanfiction should not be seen as an entitlement. ❎
I don't care, I don't read any. ⁉️
fanfic readers, i need to know:
are you unlikely to read a fic if the title is in all lowercase?*
yes, it puts me off reading the fic entirely
yes, but i can look past it if the fic sounds interesting enough
it's not my personal preference but doesn't really impact whether i'll read it
no, it doesn't impact my interest in the fic at all
no, in fact i prefer it
nuance/other/results
*e.g: "title of awesome fanfic" instead of "Title of Awesome Fanfic"
