Nope. Gold is valuable because it's scarce. No single goose could produce
that much gold...

Yeah, I remember that goose. Obviously you didn't think the story through. I thought we were grownups here who looked to the future instead of hollering and crying hyberbole about our favorite likes/dislikes?

I guess I should have been more explicit about my point.
So the publishers "die, already". Then what? Where do you expect to get your books, what do you expect them to cost, and what makes you think they'll be any good?
There's an awful lot of self-published stuff out there. A good chunk is self-published because a regular commercial publisher wouldn't touch it, and well, there's a reason they wouldn't...
Kill the goose and you'll still find plenty of eggs, but they are far more likely to be rotten than gold.
