just sitting here stewing about lib authors who blame poor people insead of publishers when they dont make as much money as they want
#saltblogging
#booksalt
#like...most people dont read books thru the ia
#i learned about the ia lending services in literal librarian school
#people who use those resources
#(WHICH AGAIN ARE LEGALLY SCANNED BOOKS W STRICT LENDING LIMITATIONS)
#are dedicated readers who spend money on books
#and you look at the current state of things
#w sky high unemployment and evictions
#no gov assistance
#in a time where people are encouraged but not enabled to just sit at home and do nothing
#and your response is
#THIS IS PIRACY THERE ISNT A PUBLISHER BAILOUT!!!
#you are fucking cruel and evil
#like the publishers dont need a bailout they monopolize the industry
#and also lol no one is as generous w free ebooks/high % off sales then indie publishers
#ur big name pubs will be fine
#and also. yeah no one else is getting bailed out either
#demand the government give you money
#demand your publisher pay fair advances to its authors
#(and demand amazon treat its employees fairly--they are the biggest bookseller out their and im sure you
#certainly are as mad at them as the free scanned books at the ia right?)
#but yelling at poor people who werent gonna buy your book anyways bc the option was free lending piracy or nothing
#is the cruelest option
#anyways dont yell at people to use libby instead of piracy
#use your library instead of piracy
#if you are going to move the goalposts on what you call piracy
#to whatever makes you more money
