Like everyone's said, I don't see this as much? But I have seen it before, and when that happened I made a blog about it. But the "praise crappy fanfics as sent from God" kind of thing is ongoing a bit? Sometimes. Before I made that blog though, there were multiple occasions when I saw that, and I didn't speak up, mostly because it didn't incite anything; the people whose fanfictions were bashed weren't even on the wiki anymore.

But yeah, I agree with this blog. When I first started writing, I was crushed when my brother and cousin would look over my shoulder at my screen and start reading aloud. That made me scared to share my stories for a few years afterwards, and I think that only stopped around late 2016. And heck, I started writing back in 2013. Even now it would hurt badly if I'd had a "constructive comment" that just sh*ttalked my whole story. And heck, I have tougher skin now, so I can only imagine how much worse it would've been back then.
