I mean, let's put it in these terms and see how you feel. Write a book. Your average book that reaches shelves takes 4 to 8 months to write. About 2 months for the first draft and roughly 4 to 10 rewrites depending on the author's quality. Then it goes to a publisher that hires an editor to comb the book a few times over. Discussing aspects of the book and a decent amount of rewriting from here as well. Then theres cover art. Oh and typesetting/formatting for actual publication. About a good year's worth of work along with many people for one book. So, go ahead, do that all for free and dont feel salty when some other company takes your story, exactly word for word, makes easy money off of it and gives you nothing. Just saying. Rent and food isn't paid with like buttons, reddit karma, hn upvotes and hugs/kisses.
