Don't play the victim. We're not going to "hate you for telling the truth", because what you say is merely opinion, not truth. The same discussions come up everywhere, not just here, because there is a great deal of truth in the saying "There is nothing new under the sun". The same things come up, because they are still relevant. Copyright, good books, bad books, these are relevant to most people.
Most people are not looking for radical new types of authorship. Books are books, the novel has been around for centuries. There are those who want to embed video into books, but we already have TV for that. As far as the literature that is going to shape culture, like it or loathe it, it is "low culture" books that really shape it. Jules Verne introduced millions of people to new ideas.
