That possibility does exist, yes.

IIRC the advice was a little more nuanced than that. There's a ton of reasons why someone might not get rec'd -- maybe you're not into the fandoms the people who rec are in, or you wrote something with common DNWs, or you tend to choose subjects that don't appeal, or your tags are off-putting, or your summaries don't make people want to click.

Or, y'know, maybe you could stand to improve your writing. If you never get rec'd, that's one possibility. If you're interested in looking into that, a beta might be a good place to start.
