@weirdwriter@bookstodon that's not how I would put it. I would say that indie publishing is being buried by grifters churning out millions of stolen words, so that it's harder to find genuine indie books.
So-called 'generative-AI' isn't indie publishing - it's scam artists stealing from indie publishers, writers, and artists.
I actually fully agree with you! I love most indie work, like, genuine indie work! It started with that whole viral nobody buys books anymore and that's a side of indie publishing I'd rather never touch again! I do love buying from indie bookstores, online and offline, because that's how I find some really amazing works! @Rhube@bookstodon
