I'm a bit of an outlier because I've abandoned AO3 and had disabled comments before that due to harassment. I've actually enjoyed just posting to DW and Neocities and expecting nothing (and being surprised by the occasional comments), but that's definitely a me-thing. But I do think there's been an overall change, yeah. I've come out of it more dedicated to just doing whatever the fuck I want, at least, and I'm taking that as a good thing.
