I spend a bit of time on reddit - specifically on r/books and r/literature and one of the **worst** things you can do is post anything positive about Amazon. Oh, the angst, the chicken little, the end of literature as we know it. And a lot of it reminds me of conspiracy theorists. There is nothing you can do to convince folks that it just ain't so. And it's mostly readers and small-time authors.
