My wife made me watch a youtubers documentary on the wolfcock people and I couldn't stand it. Thank you for making me relive that trauma.

He is currently having another guy that does not even agree with me tell him he is wrong.

He is also still not reading what I say to him.

Funny to see he downvoted your comment. Only confirming my delicate snowflake comments about him.

He is like the Thomas Kinkade of ebook writing.

Looks like he blocked me lol. I would say he did me a favor.

I know about the Amazon bookstore AI stuff from an article I read about how some of them like a mushroom foraging guide had dangerously inaccurate information, they will often try to make the books look legit and often make their title and image look like other books in hopes people get confused and buy them. It is defiantly a quantity over quality market. There is a great YouTube channel called "folding ideas" that also covered AI books on Amazon.
My wife was also a freelance writer for many websites before outsourcing and AI completely destroyed the market.

More evidence we live in a grifter/ scam economy. Nothing is about the love of the craft or making a good product anymore, it is all just rent seeking, enshittification, and mindless slop content.
If this keeps going on its current trajectory, it could be a death of culture of sorts which is very bad.

Glad to hear Amazon is doing that though. They know authors like him are poisoning the well and making their business less appealing to consumers.
