No argument there. This particular author has received A LOT of press on YT (BookTube?) which is how I learned about his books. He lives in NZ and managed to do a small tour in the US and Europe, although I am not sure who paid for that. Ryan Cahill is his name, search for that and you will seem a ton of video reviews/interviews etc.
BUT, I certainly agree he is more of a exception than the rule with Amazon exclusivity. And certainly not the most successful author to rise through the ranks of Amazon exclusive authors who have since broken out, think Hugh Howey.
