This is about the rationality of society. It is about how opinions are formed. The idea that the market works by editors identifying books people want, and then being rewarded for their good judgement, was false in this high-profile case.
Which one of these do you claim?
the editors failed when identifying this book as “people want”, since it only sold tens of millions
the editors weren’t rewarded for their good judgement
since not every single person on Earth likes it, it should not be allowed to reach those who do
there is no market for romance novels
None of the above. See the title of the post.
