I'm going to back down a little from what I said earlier, because I reconsidered that I'm most familiar with YA, and doesn't necessarily apply to adult SF/F. There are more mass market paperback originals in SFF, and those have such a short shelf life, and don't usually get as many trade reviews, and often don't get enough display space in bookstores. (I'm not actually sure whether they do ARCs or not....)
So I do think that writers who get published as mmpb originals may need to hustle harder on their own behalfs.
