Well, if people don’t actually invest any time and effort into consuming the books they buy, then perhaps it is an inevitable adaptation on the part of authors to also not invest any time and effort into creating them.

(The rise of Blinkist et. al. seems to support the idea that many people value being able to say that they have read a book much more highly than actually reading it.)



I suppose, but it seems like such a weird brag to say i read off-brand nfts for dummies.

Like i totally get people lying about reading Finnegan's wake, but who is impressed by a weird intro to NFT book? Maybe it depends on social circle.
