Comment on The stagnancy of publishing and the disappearance of the midlist

Comments

I don't understand what the problem is. TFA makes many references to "literary culture" degrading.. does he mean that readers were better off when the big 5 or 6 controlled the mast majority of new books?

The number of new books available exploded after 2000 (yes, way way before AI).

Readers are arguably better off than they ever have been in terms of variety.
