@susankayequinn Where are the testimonies of real people who read these “books” and actually enjoyed the experience?
I find it extremely hard to believe that anyone who reads for pleasure actually enjoys AI slop books.
The lowest common denominator usually doesn’t have a library card.
@thadd IDK what the "lowest common demonimator" is — there's a lot of bias against romance and romance readers that's pretty ugly — but romance readers *definitely* are discerning and have library cards. They just usually can't get their fix—they read a LOT — just from the library. In fact, I'd say romance readers are experts at finding discounted/free books to feed their habit.
And you're exactly right—none of them will come back after they see you're writing AI slop. That's why 20 pennames.
@thadd I think that's one reason why these *other* companies are exploiting thousands of writers to create a pipeline that they eventually turn into *video* for tiktok and monetize that way... because you're right, a lot of people *aren't* consuming books.
