Do you need someone else to assign value to a cultural product before you feel safe enough to try it for yourself?
I have not said that publishers are the only possible gatekeepers. Word of mouth and recommendation inf forums and other groups can also work. And I do not have time to sample as many books that can be filtered by a set of gatekeepers. So by sampling myself only I will miss a lot of good books.
