Its also why the vast majority of Indie authors are “authors” the way your waitress is really an “actress”.

I disagree. The main thing, if I understand correctly, that makes an "Indie" an Indie, is that they do not use traditional print publishing by a big publishing house. There are indie authors who are great writers, there are indie authors who are terrible writers, and everything in between. The same can be said for waitstaff.
Not reading any Indie authors because some are bad writers would be like never going to a restaurant again because some waitstaff are bad at their jobs.
The choices we have in this century for accessing and reading books is amazing. It shouldn't be necessary to denigrate various aspects of the reading process in order to advance our particular comfort levels and preferences of who, what, and how we read.
