The point of reviews at social bookmarking sites, just as in any other context, is to share opinions with other readers, not to feedback the writer. The writer might be freely able to read them, but she isn't the intended audience: if communicating with her was in mind, they could easily do it a hundred other ways. It could be that that bookmarker has people who use her bookmarks as a source for badfic to read - there's a fair number of people who enjoy a laugh at badfic, but read it only at the recommendation of someone else because they can't stand going through the other badfic to look for it first. If that's the case, it's not much different from communities which post funny badfic excerpts with links to the source, like that HP newsletter a couple of years ago that inspired so many copycats. I'd probably subscribe to her bookmarks on the basis of those comments alone if I cared to read in the fandom.
