Wrong. It says a lot about what readers read and how some writers choose to write.

I have zero problem with publishers marketing books to me. Like yes, show me what you’re selling. Narrow them down into a genre so it’s less work for me.

And I don’t really care what authors think of it to be honest. Their job is to write books, the publishers job is to sell the book and my job is to pick what to buy and read, which is made a whole lot easier using genre. The one it affects the least is the writer. I bet if they were told there are no genres anymore and as a result sales have dropped because now you’re just in a sea of everything else they would start singing a different tune.

Haters gonna hate. It is what it is. Trick is to not be so bothered by what other people think or say.
