Why is it OK to deprive writers of their choice? Even if a writer is cluelessly missing untold sales by not being on the darknet, aren't we all entitled to make our own decisions about our work? If I think you're not doing the best job with your career, whatever it is, is it OK for me to start making choices for you?
