it's a good idea, just for the purpose of giving those actually TOO LAZY to leave even a three word 'this is good' comment, an easier/lazier option to comment. though, some people probably would view this kind of poll thing as attention whoring. i personally don't think it's attention whoring - it's giving people an easier option if they're just too lazy to comment. but other people would see it differently, perhaps.
thussss, some people might feel discouraged to leave any feedback at all if they think it's attention whoring. then again, those who don't may very well use the poll - but would you be satisfied with that? like, while people would have the option of leaving a comment, they likely wouldn't because "OH, WELL, I'LL JUST FILL OUT THE POLL BC IT'S EASIER". so would you be satisfied with knowing just how lazy people are with leaving feedback/potentially getting even less actual feedback?
for me... if i read a fic that had a poll system at the end, i would likely do what i always do - if a fic has kept me interested/if i liked it/if i absolutely despised it/if i know and trust the author and read them regularly, i will leave feedback. otherwise, if a fic is mediocre, doesn't really do anything for me, doesn't sustain my interest, doesn't really move me in any way, i generally don't comment because i usually have nothing to say in those instances. so, would i use the poll in a case like that? maybe. then again, i watch a lot of youtube videos and never opt to rate them. so, it's hard to say.
HAS THIS BEEN ANY HELP? I FEEL LIKE I'VE JUST RAMBLED FOR AGES ABOUT NOTHING (mainly bc it's 3AM here and i am tiiiiired)
