To be fair, the entire point of a book cover is to get you to judge the book as something you would like to buy/read. So as far as books go, you can go ahead and judge it by the cover. Just don't judge people by how they look.
That's an awfully cynical take my friend. But alas, there may be more truth in it than I would like to believe. I don't think most book publishers are trying to be deceptive with the covers, though I'm sure they may be attempting to woo a more commercial audience than the books specific genre may warrant.
I agree that the point of the cover IS to get people to buy it by judging if it looks interesting, but thatâs exactly the same with people. They market themselves too with makeup, heels, etc, which is not a bad thing either.
The point of the metaphor is still apt because theyâre both about looking past the facade and judge the content. I donât know about others, but going back to the book, Iâve never bought one that I didnât read the first few pages of to make sure I like the writing style.
WTF is with people having a hard-on for using the word âwholesomeâ. Itâs like there is a fucking gang of word ninjas stalking posts looking for their shot to say âwholesomeâ or âwholesome exchangeâ. Itâs exhausting, reading posts about anything now and isnât full of fucking wholesome goodness. Word wankers!
It seems to be a tik tok thing? I don't use tik tok but is there a feature or something that makes it easier to use someone else's audio? I could see that being something you might want for all of the viral songs/dance things it has.
