KU is a paid lending library. It's not FREE. I pay for that.

And by paying for it, I pay the fucking authors.

Was someone grumbling because you borrowed some books? I wish people wouldn't do that... People who borrow books can often afford to read many more books than they otherwise would-- a very good outcome

That said, the recent increase in KU's fee did not go to KU authors; compensation for reads have tested their lowest rates ever over the summer

Yeah, tell me about it (the low pay). I'm a KU author and I'm just... I don't want to go wide, because just the thought of having to do all the marketing etc myself is wrenching, but KU's just... not paying.

(Admittedly, I do need to poke my ads, but... :whine:)
