Nope...what I am talking about is the individual. YOU support the art YOU pay for IN the amount you pay.
Now, I have been and can be still...that nickel paperback buyer. Someone along for the ride gratis of the largess of OTHERS. BUT I don’t kid myself.
Some of us...we do all that we can do and that’s fine. I don’t regret my childhood of reading used books and library books. I don’t care that I buy some author's books for a buck. It’s god marketing on their part. But the point is to build a fan base of people who matter...those that pay. Those that keep the author in the green needed to be able to continue to write.
So many fans of reading. This whole forum...filled with folks passionate about reading. But MY GOD....so many skin flints who think a book and a cup of coffee should be the same price.
If you enjoy the art....support the art. Vote with your dollars. Stop trying so hard to devalue that which you are passionate about.
If you can’t pay....I’m not talking to you.
