If you'd like to support your fave authors in 2025 but you're skint, you could:

- make a social media post about the book, just as basic as "i enjoyed this" and a picture (don't forget alt-text)

- rec it in a relevant reddit thread or Goodreads forum or Facebook group

This is (part of) how democracies die. This is the Orban, Putin, Netanyahu and Modi playbooks.
