Have Feedback Ratios Improved?

When fans began posting their fanfic to the Internet, the number of zine submissions dropped and kept dropping.  One of the reasons writers gave was that by posting online they got more feedback. I don't know how many websites allow you to track who has read your story, but in the case of fanvids, I can track my vid downloads. And the feedback ratio....well it has been less than 1/2 of 1000 percent. In fact, I had one potential viewer send me an angry email because my standard "welcome to my vids and here is the password" message contained the following peremptory language: "And don't forget to send the vidders feedback. Enjoy!"   Apparently I was rude for both demanding feedback and ordering them to enjoy the vids.

Anyhow, the year is 1992 and in the letterzine Southern Enclave,  the editor of  the fanzine Tremor in the Force writes: "I have received 7 LOCs out of the 150 copies sold." (5%)  The editor of Bright Center to the Universe estimated her feedback ratio to be slightly higher, around 10%
