"Fungible" is, like "quality", in the eye (or wallet) of the beholder.
Everybody has their own set of values, their own triggers, their own boundaries.
There are several authors I used to buy that will never see a cent from me again because of things they've said and done. One of them has an ongoing series I was following. No more.
Hasn't killed me.
The money is going to somebody else so, yes, totally replaceable.
Nobody is good enough that I can't survive without their books.
Doesn't mean I expect everybody to share my values, though.
It's just that there is more than enough good content in the genres I enjoy that I don't have to support fools.
