Is this out of experience or gut feeling? Or put in different words: would you refuse to give an Indie a try if someone gave you a recommendation for a specific book or author? And not just any someone, but one you know who gave you recommendations before.
Just curious. If you heard horror stories, and those put you off even giving it a try, then that alone would be a reasonable explanation. It is very possible that some of the "bad PR against Indies" might just be part of some conspiracy theory or propaganda. Or, more likely, the process of finding a book to enjoy is vastly different for Big5 vs Indie. And yes, it is different for sure. Going to a B&M store and browsing the shelves, for one, is out for Indies.
