What if I think it is a good thing?

Actually I do, and I also see a difference between "having favorite authors" and "being gushy about my favorite authors".

Having favorite authors is neither here no there, the topic is, as you say, tribalism/emotional decisions. All I said is, I make no distinction between tribalistically supporting publishers and tribalistically supporting authors. The end result is still tribalistically supporting publishers.

Is it really such a difficult problem to grasp that?
