And it applies to podfics too. The podfic for Wingman came out at the same time as the fic itself, both are on ao3, but the podfic has 45 comments and the fic has 985. That isn't about ease of use

07.12.2025 20:45 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Virtually every app feeds back to apple or Spotify, so comments show up regardless of the app used
07.12.2025 20:41 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Different how?
07.12.2025 20:31 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Yea, ive had...14 comments (total) on my 80+ episodes over the last 2 years, but I know I have listeners. I think people just don't take the time to comment
07.12.2025 20:27 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Hu, I had no idea. If I leave a comment I leave 1. I don't think ive ever left more than one comment for a fic, and ive read and finished like 2k fics at this point!
07.12.2025 20:22 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I see. It never occured to me that people expect comments every chapter and the lack of a comment implies someone stopped reading.
07.12.2025 20:19 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 3 π 0I just mean, if OP is judging their readership by hit count, I think it may be hurting rather than helping cause I don't think hit count means anything
07.12.2025 20:15 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Also, if there is a podfic i will sometimes listen to some and then read some and then go back to listening, or vice versa. I will sometimes open a fic as I listen to see the pictures, or I might listen to a fic 92737 times (looking at you Time in a Bottle) and not go to ao3 for every time.
07.12.2025 20:15 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I'll be right over!
07.12.2025 20:10 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0How can you tell? Like based on hit count? Cause I don't think that number actually means anything. Maybe I use ao3 "wrong" but I have fics ive never read that ive opened 50 times, and fics that ive opened 5 times and reas 5 times

A funny little podfic for a Sunday morning.
Kind Eyes by PoorMedea.
Ed gets jealous of Arthur when he hears about his kind eyes and tries to find out about Stede's secret love life back home.
Fifthed!
