OH is that quoted bit the cause of the day's issues? Gosh, here's the real secret.
Many writers don't need to pretend that they make their money from the book; they do make their money from the books.
They're just poor. They make as much money as their neighbors who are CNAs or Walmart greeters. 🧵

I’m just minding my damned business when a “Gemini” AI button shows up and starts nagging me.
This new trend of “randomly added AI button which nags you” in every piece of software is wild.

“Quiet, piggy” is a sign. Like black and red scales on a snake, like hearing “you have a purty mouth” drifting on the breeze out of a dark forest path.
People are disturbed by this — not because it’s silly or rude — but because it’s a window into what goes on in dark rooms when no one is watching.

Remember, folks: “content” is what’s in your pants after a bad burrito hits you during a long drive with no rest stops and, just as you get the cramps under control, you hit a particularly nasty pothole.
No one fills their pants with “art” when food poisoning sets in.

1000 times this. It's the worst when writers or illustrators or filmmakers apply that to their own works. So fucking degrading.
No other word has done more damage to the craft of writing in recent years than “content”. Even if you’re using the word “content” ironically, or as a cute little joke, don’t. When someone calls writing “content” they’re pissing on someone’s hard work & passion. “Content” is Technosatan’s henchword.
