It certainly does. If nothing else, it tells you whether people are getting the story you are trying to tell.
Too many would be writers have delicate egos, and just can't tolerate suggestions that their writing could use improvement. Sorry, but getting professionally published is about rejection. You can assume you'll get rejected a lot before you start hitting the target, and you'll continue to be rejected even after you've been professionally published. Nobody hits the ball every time. The best hitters swing and miss far more often than not. If you can't accept that, you shouldn't try to write.
