Then why do us lit bros have 300 subs and you have 7k? Referring to the initial article. You cannot have it both ways. And again, she’s cornering the outrage dollar right now. She’s gonna get a lot of crankies on her side with no need for context. I’ve said it before, Libes is sharp, she understands that trad pub looks at follower and subscriber counts before considering a manuscript. Why? It’s just simply good business. These companies do not care who is following, just that a percentage of followers will necessarily be converted to dollars. The outrage market will always buy because they have been convinced that argumentation has a price tag, which in a hyperstitional sense has become true. So, this is genuinely genuinely very smart marketing.

Whether it’s intentional or not is another question that does not matter
