Okay, okay, the title is a little harsh. And clickbaity. I apologize for that. And this isn’t even written as a letter, either. So I apologize for that, too.

The truth is, I don’t hate traditional publishing. I think it’s just fine, albeit fraught with its own set of problems. It’s kind of like Marvel movies. Some people prefer to watch Marvel movies over anything else. Some people think Marvel movies are a dark pinnacle of corporate greed. But most people don’t think about it either way.
