Yeah - sadly it seemed "experiment tailored towards conclusions" as opposed to analyzing the reasons behind it. Especially if they had ones published by one author in one framework and one in another to compare. The supply side and logistics could make it "mechanical" because it is known to sell well but much of it seems to be anti-popular rhetoric that anything widely liked must be flawed. While there is a lowest common denominator drive from sheer weight of numbers (most money per person, targetting mean and below average getting good money per effort - frankly the higher brow crowd demand more effort) that doesn't mean they are automatically inferior nor those outside of its framework neccessarily advantaged. The converse doesn't mean "unpopular" are automatically better. Really popularity isn't that great of a heuristic either way. To get to a larger point qbout writing everyone produces to some sort of motivation or incentive. Even "pure" writers doing it not for making money have at least an emotional connection - let alone attempts at gaining status or promoting ideas.
