How do you think new authors got published in the past? Did agents go door to door asking if anyone was writing anything? Authors have always had to market themselves.

It's like Powers of Ten, you zoom out and you realize all the stuff you thought was "shit" was actually a very small subset of what exists, and it's actually REALLY GOOD compared to all of that other shit, which is *really* shit

And that's stuff that made it past the publishing gatekeepers, if you zoom out from that to everything ever *written* that you can find on the Internet then holy shit there's SO MUCH SHIT and it's SO SHITTY Those authors you thought were feckless incompetents look like geniuses
