Qm and reader is a two way street. I enjoy writing, you enjoy reading. Ideally, I appreciate you, and you appreciate me. Unfortunately, I don't snap my fingers and the update gets done. All the work in this relationship is on me. We all have busy lives, adding QMing on top of that isn't easy. You show your readers your appreciation by putting out updates and working hard to entertain them. Making sure you are consistent and what not. And readers can show some appreciation back by maybe making a meme of your quest, or drawing you something, or honestly just saying something as simple as "thanks for the quest QM, I'm really enjoying it great work". A simple "hay man, thanks for putting in the extra work for this thing we both love". Its ok if they don't want to put a tip in your jar, its not a big deal.
But then you have assholes (such as yourself? Poissibly) that simply feel entitled to the work the qm puts out. They samefag, they throw hissy fits, they sabotage the quest when things don't go their way, they hound the /qm/ across boards and quests. All because in their tiny brain they think getting their way is whats owed to them. "Im the one giving in this relationship", "its my precious time, the QMs doesnt matter". There is no two way street and no appreciation here. No QM wants a player liek that in their quest and would ban them if they could, but since they're anonymous, they get away with it here. It comes with the territory of 4chan, but just because you accept that it doesn't mean you LIKE it.
