  • Before the internet you would have to go to a library to read a book you didn’t want to purchase. Libraries are still a thing. You can still go there to borrow a book, read it, and return it, so that others can read it.

    The only difference here is the magnitude of access, where publishers weren’t very concerned with at the local library level for token public good, but are very much now alarmed with, in that the internet can distribute content to everyone all the time, content they were very much hoping to continue to monetize.

    It’s information gatekeeping, but no one is going to tell the publishing industry they might as well fold up shop and stop publishing because they can’t make any money at it any longer.













  • All this “press” Acolyte poison, lol.

    I really enjoyed the first two episodes of this, Carrie was stunt casting, and I appreciated it. Ad as we know, as long as the actor is still alive, you never know what “prequel” magic will bring in the future/past in another show or movie.

    Every major publication has some “how are you doin fellow kids” just chomping at the bit to trash this show, and throw it on the “Disney’s overextended itself again” when, in my opinion it’s already better than Boba, Obi Wan, and Ashoka.

    Hope it stays better, but so far, so good.
