I love both receiving and leaving kudos. The first because it lets me know that someone read my fic and liked it. The latter because it's my way of telling someone "I liked your fanwork but I: a)might not have the brainpower/spoons to leave a comment; b)I'm reading/watching this on my phone and don't have the patience to type up my (typically long and enthusiastic) comments; c)I'm reading/watching this very late at night. OMG, I ONLY HAVE X AMOUNT OF HOURS LEFT TO CATCH SOME ZZZ'S BEFORE WAKING UP FOR WORK".
FTR, I tend to leave comments solely on fanworks I really liked or loved. For one thing, I've got very limited time (once you factor out work and sleep hours AND add "free time", i.e. when I interact in Fandom/read or write fic/what-have-you) to leave comments on every fanwork I come across (which, when it comes to fic, is a lot.) In a way, I like to think that, because I don't leave comments on everything, those who get a comment from me will get an extra kick from knowing that I was seriously starry-eyed about my rambling on about their fanworks.
If I'm feeling totes \o/ about whatever I've enjoyed, I'll leave a Kudos AND a comment. It's like an additional tip of the hat to the writer/artist/vidder/mixer.
