Except it DOESN'T really allow that, except for a few rare success stories. And in order to make any money whatsoever you still have to do a ton of shit that a lot of creators AREN'T GOOD AT and SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DO, like fucking marketing.
Like, you don't have the advantage that it's easier to find your book on bookstore shelves or in a legit rec list on a legit website No one can find your book *at all*, except by chance

And the people who do stumble on your book's title by chance ("Arthur Chu said he read this book and really liked it! He has 40k followers!") are way, way more likely to do a quick Google and look to see if it's available for free to "check it out" After all, you're nobody

The inspiring ending to this story is that your book is in fact available for free but it's SO GOOD that it goes viral nationally, you became famous, and it makes millions of dollars This is not going to happen
