That's my guess, but it weirds me out watching *only* the bookmarks go up with no comments or kudos after a lag (and you'd think the bookmarks would fluctuate once someone had read the fic!). I'm sure there's a boring explanation, but it feels like being put in someone's insect cabinet.

Yeah, it's probably just someone who's self-conscious and doesn't like interacting with 'fic publicly. There's a while secret world going on in their private bookmarks, most likely.

I know a few people like that (and I personally get antsy over interacting with problematic smut or wildly OOC stories). It's not great for authors because [gestures vaguely] it feels like there's a general feedback drought out there unless your 'fic goes viral on Tiktok or something, but a lot of people just really hate Being Perceived, it seems.

Yeah, I don't mind; they should do what they want (and better than no bookmarks!), just feels weird.
