I think the book part is solved through ebook portals. There’s a LOT of books on the Kindle store with shitty stories, grammar mistakes and AI cover pics (if not completely wwritten by AI nowadays)

What the all have in common is they’re digital products. There is a fixed overhead cost to host on a platform, but almost no cost per sale/visit/download, so you don’t need to worry about scaling production and distribution.

You don’t to convince everyone, just the biggest porn posters. People will go where the porn is, just ask 4chan!

I’ld describe it more as “reddit, but without a single company owning all the login servers. Anyone (wirh money) can make their own server and make subs on there, even have their own rules, but you can still visit other servers all on one account, so nobody really has control over all the subs to make up stupid rules for them.”

It’s the dumbed down explanation, but it’s essentially the difference for non-nerds.
