They tried serials on an invitation-only basis. For the authors, I mean--they basically only accepted or invited trade-published authors with a handful of Indy-pubs.

This is a different thing. There are a number of very successful Indy authors already effectively doing "serials." Aerki Jay, for example, is making a handsome living with his Space Opera version(s).

And we're all...(tasteful and discreet cough)...more mature than that audience is, generally speaking. It's not meant for us, methinks.

This is clearly aimed at the Wattpad crowd, which skews very, very VERY heavily toward "new adult" or YA, the teen and 18-21y.o. group.
