how come it's always ficcers complaining about 0 comments? never hear a peep from the artists.

People are more likely to look at art fandom-blind. So even niche art is a lot more likely to have at least 1-2 comments.

On the flip side, many exchanges have little enough art that complaining about anything art-related is pretty de-anoning. There have been times I wish I could say things like "Oh man, I worked for 50000 hours on this comic and the recip is a no-show" (slightly exaggerated example), but I just lie and pretend I posted fic instead if I'm going to vent about that.

I've tried looking at 0 comment art in FIAB and such, and sure enough, there's usually a reason it's at 0 comments.
