Rudolph the Lockthwain Lancer
Had a very ghostly horse
And if his comrade's fallen
Get a card, equip new swords
All the other human knights
Tend to be in white or red
They never let poor Rudolph
Play in non-Marcus decks

There are non-google, non-amazon doorbell cameras you can find in normal hardware stores like Home Depot, Lowes, Menards, etc.

You would, yeah, but that's not the reality everywhere. BTW, I've bookmarked this conversation so I can find your book later. I read the review and I like the idea! Once I'm not as broke maybe I can balance the scale and read something I wouldn't normally :)

If there's truly a high rate of piracy, that implies people are just downloading en masse (which may mean that theyre far less likely to ever convert to a sale). Or maybe instead there's someone somewhere talking about your work and pointing to it? It could be worthwhile finding out which it is.

Sharing a book physically is also so much more personal, it's an item that has to be cared for, which encourages a stronger connection with the actual material. It's "you, specifically can have/borrow this" rather than "fuck it, free for all"

Seems like the only difference is with a physical copy being shared to a friend vs digital is that you have the item as physical proof that something somewhere was purchased. It's also limited in scale. A book can only be shared one person at a time, a file can go to dozens or hundreds.

Still, these pirated copies aren't sales lost if they would have never bought it. I struggle to blame someone who clicks download as much as I do someone who clicks upload.

Fair point, publishing houses make those choices and they're gonna go for the easiest and most consistent dollar over coverage and service.

"Not everything new is for you". It's also gotten easier to accept as I've gotten older. I used to be way whiner abt this and lately I've been struggling to out my feelings into words. This has really helped. Thank you :)

All damn good points. I like the idea of a book swap, lol it forces other people to read the stuff you like too. Obviously used book stores need more traffic as time marches ever onward.

Honestly "too bad so sad" is a totally fair response. I'm glad I don't read quickly bc $20 for a book sounds fine to me when it takes me a while to finish, but people who read as fast as my wife does start suffering from success lol. I hope you have success in protecting your work

I saw a video of a game dev who noticed most of their piracy was from a fan base in Brazil who couldn't afford the game. He put the base price lower in that country and did turn piracy into revenue. Are you seeing piracy from engaged fans, or people who disregard your work when they've finished it?

Okay I have yet to be able to actually ask someone in the writing world for whom who piracy has had a notable and quantifiable scale. How do you react to the idea that these people who pirated your work probably wouldn't have paid you for your it in the first place?

TLDR I missed the part where a gun was put to my head and told "You VILL consume the diaper porn! You VILL engage in dogpiling, callout posts, and chungus memes!"
Maybe there's a quiet majority of daiper porn users somewhere, have you ever thought of their feelings on the subject?

You can't shove millions of people in a box, shake it, and expect a net good. Ppl are too messy and the needs of capital will push out the undesirables. Being where i want to be in spite of those needs isn't some Epic Rebellion, but it's kept me sane in a world that won't afford me that otherwise.

I'm still on Tumblr, I'm used to hostile impetuous website designers that don't bend to the whims of human decency. Bsky has failed to be Twitter. I'm okay with nothing being Twitter. Sports journalism still gets published, culture still happens, I don't need everything everywhere all of the time.

"don't use shit you don't want" is a nice way to be online. I didn't use the YouTube hone page until it got better, the sub feed has always been my browser's home page so I dont miss stuff. Failures in the projects that are not for me... dont affect me. Maybe Bluesky and it's culture isn't for you?
