@aleams Me too. But we aren’t the entire marketplace, sadly.
Which begs a chicken/egg question, then. Does behavior of the market dictate what creators/companies make? Or can we as creators STEER the market how we want it? And if so, how?
How do we make THEM care about story first?
Or just STEAL them from Game of Thrones and Pornhub, most likely, all while destroying the environment and democracy (Big AI firms are now supposedly Trumps biggest donors.) #FuckAI#NotoGrok#NotoAI
@aleams Wuite literally a “2 things can be true at the same time” convo on the surface (pun intended.) It CAN be a great story AND collectible.
But FOR ME, it would have to be BOTH: a story I FEEL and a cover that feels unmissable.
That’s BRUTALLY hard, and so obvious when it misses.
@aleams I remember the Marvel Hip-Hop album cover variants. I bought a decent number because they were the right combo of a book or character I loved AND an album I loved or respected. That was a small fraction of the total output.
And some of them I read and THAT ISSUE was just.. meh.
