I was curious about the unique number of reviewers, and (from your CSV) it seems that 6838 different FF.net accounts placed reviews. That’s fewer than I expected given the 9.6k favs and 8.6k follows.
Of course, that guy named “Guest” was pretty prolific.

Remember the 1% rule: 1% of your viewers will interact or participate in a meaningful way (and I’ve seen videos on YouTube with more than 100x views to total votes). So actually, given how much easier it is to favorite or follow than to write a review (however slight), a 6.8 : 9.6 ratio is pretty impressive.
The odd thing there for me is that favorites outnumber follows. I would have expected follows to be a superset of favorites: I might find a story worth following, but not so good I will publicly put it on my favorites list & endorse it.

And let us give due credit to anon. People mock him for a lot of stuff, but he has good taste in fanfiction.

FFDN, especially historically, has a terrible interface, and I’m amazed more than tens of people managed to follow or favorite the story.
I tried to explain once the procedure for following a story on FFDN to an interested friend, and my friend responded with an incredulous “You’re making this up” and did not end up taking any action.

But unless the interface makes following much easier than favoriting, doesn’t explain the disparity.

Isn’t it like… checking a radio box at the bottom of the page?

I see:
Yes, that’s a very recent development. And those actually work most of the time, if the login system behaves.
