I use the kudos button for fic that either I liked, but don't really have a comment for, or fic that I really liked but can't think of a comment for right now because it is still busy blowing my mind, or (and this happens a lot) fic written by someone who is awesome and big in a fandom and I am scared of commenting because hi, I have pointless social anxiety on the internet, so I like the kudos button for giving me a way out of keeping the fic open in a tab for three months but never actually commenting.
