Amazon’s intentional facilitation of this garbage reminds me of Bannon’s “flood the zone with shit” designed to destroy people’s ability to form understanding and trust

If Amazon wanted to be a trusted seller of products, it’d simply require each author/seller/store to assert “this is my actual likeness,” “I personally wrote this book,” “my US tax ID number is XXX…” and it’d be the basis for customers’ ability to pursue fraud cases against exploitative items

But no; Amazon manages to take no responsibility for deception and it must be that they ENJOY being the lowest common denominator

Anyway, thanks for showing the extent of new & improved zone-flooding

I wonder if any of these actually had any sales? I guess one should wonder what their ultimate purpose is/was? Was it one of those viral inspirations from TikTok (10 things to make money now) or something more sinister? The style Gan images seem to be the go too for nefarious actors, so I wonder what the purpose was for these books, other than to tell people they have books published. Great work as always.
