Making it impossible for an author to sell their next book doesn’t just kill that book. It makes it far less likely the author will continue writing at all. They have to make a living somehow and they were already earning pennies an hour for their bonkers fragile and emotionally demanding work.

Most publishers (there are always exceptions) decide whether or not to buy a second book (or a third etc) based on how the previous book did. So when you pirate a book in most cases it’s less about the money you just stole from both author and publisher it’s about the future book you just killed.

The majority of books published lose money and the majority of authors do not earn out their advances if they were lucky enough to get one. If you do the math on an hourly wage, writing is frankly bonkers as any kind of career.

It is not for anyone to say that people are foolish or cowardly for surviving as best as they can. Maybe you should actually speak to people before you decide that every single person in the field is somehow an ignorant dimwit.

it's funny how defensive folks are about something they loudly proclaim is totally morally fine. like why does the author have to agree with you too?

Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.

Don’t pirate books! And if you do, stfu about it and stop pretending it’s some kind of moral or Marxist or revolutionary stance. Just be brave and own the fact that you don’t care that you are a thief who doesn’t care about artists.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

That time when a former friend was posting wild racist shit (anti-Palestinian, anti-Indigenous, truly foaming at the mouth stuff) and I reached out to call in (and I was gentle lemme tell you), and her response was "I am disappointed in your response" to her "pain"...
Yes she is ⚪ and comes from 💰.

I’m thinking about the time i reached out to a friend bc i assumed that they’d be very stressed bc of the amount of empathy they’d shown in the past
And then seeing as their texts took a wildly Zionist bent and realizing that we’d probably never speak again
