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
The publishers are in fact paying them, just not paying them (in your view) enough If the publishers ceased to exist, they have reason to think that this would lead to them instead being paid nothing

The logic is pretty clear and the Authors Guild among others have laid it out repeatedly and at length And it's not like they don't, in fact, demand to be paid more in royalties (that is also something the Authors Guild does regularly, it's their day-to-day business)

But they obviously have reason to dislike "consumer advocates" who want the price to the customer to go down, or think sales figures don't matter at all

This study doesn't control for libraries at all. Poland is one of the many EU countries (like mine) where authors and artists in general can apply for state stipends. That data doesn't carry over to the US system that cleanly.
