My attempts to raise this concern have been received poorly. And yet my experience is that preprints are sometimes/often ignored.

I totally agree with concern. But I think in era of google, "preprints are ignored" is a hard conclusion to reach (and probably erroneous).

the strongest conclusion to me is "posting a preprint lacks obvious and immediate benefits to the authors in the form of feedback."

But isn't this only a problem if you see pre-prints as an alternative, not compliment, to traditional peer review via journals..?

A compliment implies you can use it to get more PR, right? But if most ppl get no feedback/comments then it's a false promise?

Even so, wouldn't the deck be hugely stacked in favor of big/famous labs in terms of what gets discussed?

Perhaps true, but, at least now, there aren't that many preprints in my field so for

Not a solution, but discussing

FWIW many JCs at UCL discuss preprints and I know my preprint (which is now published) was discussed at people's JCs.
