But see this is like a conflicting set of ideas: ~ Writers want to know their stories are being read, so leave kudos to encourage... ~ But their stories could be being read and actually disliked...
You're missing the point. If you don't like a story, you don't comment or don't leave Kudos. It's as simple as that.
I'm suggesting the use of Kudos, for those people who read a story, like it, but have nothing to say.
Leaving Kudos simply tells a writer their story has been read, and someone having taken the time to give a Kudos, tells the writer the story was read and liked. That to me is encouragement, and there's nothing wrong with that.
It's comparable to hitting the :"Like": option on Facebook. You don't leave a comment, but you like the post you just read. If you don't then you do nothing. That's not very complicated...
