I do agree that anyone should be able to publish, but then should also consider bigger picture when "stars", "likes", "downloads" are rolling in. As noted there are no materials that show what is it like when you have to work on something for years because you built expectations in others. Just like kids want to be youtubers and then youtubers were all "burned out" because yt algorithm will take away their likes if they are not on top of the things all the time.
