Experienced foragers worry that the new wave of foraging guides produced by artificial intelligence provide misleading—even dangerous—information to novice foragers, and lack details on how to harvest in an ecologically responsible way.
Amazon is making their cut. They literally do not care.
I’ve written reviews and tried to find ways to report listings where people were selling grills with galvanized grates. Cooking on or in something galvanized can kill you. It’s extremely hazardous. But Amazon doesn’t care. Nothing ever happens.
Holy shit I didn’t want to believe they’d actually allow that. That maybe they did have some extreme far out line in the sand where they’d do something. And now I’m just totally at a loss
I think 95% of the books on “how to get rich quick” are essentially variations on the theme “write a guide on how to get rich and sell it to other people”
I had a friend in high school that every week came with the new “money solution” found on a forum called “warrior”, and he tried to crowndfund as much as possible in the class to pay for it… And in the end was something super simple like “sell this guide to others” or simply stupid like “go outside a stadium during a sport event and set an illegal face painting kiosk” or “do dropshipping on ebay using an Amazon prime trial account”
While a nicely-bound blank book with heavy paper isn’t worth $500, it isn’t entirely worthless, either. To really rip buyers off, it has to be an ebook or print-on-demand. As has already been demonstrated.
Ya, it should be 3 books a week, or even a month, imo.
I do see how someone could publish 3 books in a day, by releasing a full trilogy all together. But beyond that, you really are only looking at people making utter garbage.
How Amazon can think that publishing 3 books a day is acceptable???
It’s literally impossible to produce 3 books a day, unless it’s something menial like “how to pee, in three simple steps”

Don’t forget the unsafe electrical plugs, like male-to-male.

I’m surprised they don’t sell “How to Rip off Idiots”, a giant, $500 leather-bound hardcover book with over 1,000 heavyweight blank pages.

If you are publishing an existing catalogue, sure, but yeah.
Implicit trust is a horrible idea for something like this.
