With the fan-fiction, you were lucky if you could find a place with reviews to sort the good ones to not so good ones. Quite a lot pure crap was also classified as good ones. That still wasn't the problem, but the fact that quality was replaced by quantity. A lot 1-20 pages long stories that wouldn't pass even lower grades teacher's examination.
