I figured why not. Taking a short break in the midst of writing to just put out general observations.
Gab and Minds: Both are anemic when it comes to books. Where Booktube concentrates more on the Brandon Sandersons or Sara J Maas setups, where does that leave readers?? Well we have to step up to the plate and create things away from the lime light. Or what is considered status quo to get more clicks.
Most genres/settings get buried under the all-encompassing "Romance" main category. Let's try our best to lift others beyond that bulwark.
What we need is more readers to cultivate and promote stuff they enjoy. Not just what gets clicks.
- Focusing on what we hate takes up 90% of the discourse because that gets more outrage clicks.
- We need to balance that more with what we love instead.
- Starve the rage.
- Offer more than what is "Trending."
I imagine a fair amount of readers just want options and not the same recommendations over and over.
I want things to replace Dead IPs. Let's get out there and find them.
