On the Royal Road, a lot of authors would simply block you and delete your comment. It's a basic survival tactic out there.

Here, I don't think it's much of the issue. Most would be glad for the help, while some would ignore you.

I usually fix the typo and thank the person who found it.

Some of us autocorrect translations in our heads. Your first line had my inner voice saying a word that wasn't originally there: "Personally I would need too much -of- this kind of comments". I might not mention a typo if I subconsciously do these corrections.
(Sorry for the typo)
I think I know what you mean. When I beta read a text in Italian I noticed that sometimes a typo slips through, even if I was aiming at being as careful as possible, and I notice it only reading a second time, with a fresh mind. But I think this kind of autonomous mechanism works only if the mistake is negligible. There are some errors that alter the readability of the sentence, like using the wrong verb tense or using extensively random punctuation, that disrupt the attention of the readers. I would like that ones pointed out.
