I DEFINITELY think there's room for nuanced discussion there and there's no time like the present to truly consider our system, burn it down and rebuild. I also think using ableist slurs, misgendering people and swearing at the minority authors this is ostensibly for doesn't help
Well, no, it pays a few authors tremendous riches and pays a lot more authors enough to at least live on You can say the same thing about self-publishing, too, but there the numbers are way more skewed

Saying that personally he had in fact done various experiments with going the self-pub route and it sucked and he preferred working with a publisher because the books were better and he got paid more (15% of a high number is better than 100% of a low number)
