      The vast majority of trad-pubbed books aren't any good either, but they have at a minimum been edited by someone who has a nodding acquaintance with subject-verb agreement and how to make a plot hang together.

      Yeah okay when people talk about Sturgeon's Law it's like this exponential thing, it's like the movie Powers of Ten When you say that "90% of everything is shit" you mean that 90% of all the *famous, highly thought of* books out there will probably be "shit" if you read them

      Because there's no accounting for tastes, a lot of tastemakers are kind of vapid and corrupt, etc But overall on a baseline quality level those books are still gonna be head and shoulders above *all the books ever published*, most of which you'll never read

      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

      I have so so many such amazingly bad books that were never published but that the author knew were finished.

      I mean. Even if you only look at the very top tier of self-pubbed books you CONSTANTLY find shit that would never have made it past Those Terrible Gatekeepers of TradPub. Stuff like "this character was named Olive until chapter 3 and is now named Phoebe" and…

      …"this paragraph in Chapter 8 literally directly contradicts a thing that happened in Chapter 2 (and it's not because the author is trying Unreliable Narration)".

      i have no fucking idea what you're even trying to say here. Try expressing your thought more clearly. Or get an editor, perhaps.

      It's a dig against JK Rowling, which I approve of on principle
