Editor's Disclaimer

To be very honest — nobody actually said this. AI wrote it in the style of the archive to keep this page from feeling empty while we chase down real quotes. Enjoy the fiction responsibly.

“If I'm being honest, half the books on the bestseller list are there because of BookTok bulk buys and pre-order manipulation. We have authors who hire services to game the system. The New York Times knows it, we know it, but nobody wants to kill the golden goose.”
