@ExcessivelyDiverting@bookstodon@histodons I’m trying to wrap my head around TikTok giving out book awards. It’s almost like “X” giving out awards for the most inspirational political speeches.
@JeroenRombouts@ExcessivelyDiverting@bookstodon@histodons I can’t speak to what’s going on with indie book stores. But “BookTok” is not helping B&N. They’re closing stores, they restructured debt, they reported a larger loss for 2023 than 2022, and the stock’s going for $1.64. They’re pinning their hopes on “First Day Complete” book delivery for college courses. If “BookTok” was driving revenue increases, they would surely have noted it.
@DuBusGuy19@ExcessivelyDiverting@bookstodon (sorry for the late reply: procrastination combined with a holiday to Brittany) It does look like the glowing profiles in the media were a bit overblown indeed. Thanks for sharing.
