Addendum.
I think the only way this concept comes close to working today is an estate sale for someone who recently died. Someone no one cares enough about to guard their reputation and pre-check the personal library before sale.
At such a sale I once found a neat little dystopian scifi novel by Frederik Pohl that I never heard of before. A very enjoyable read. I also bought the novella next to it that looked innocently enough to be a plain pulp 50'sish scifi jaunt. It turned out to be part of a collection put out by an outfit calling itself "Continental Classics," the name being a thin dodge to maintain a veneer of respectability. It, um, wasn't Science Fiction, nor badly written for being what it was.
Is this not what the world was like, once upon a time, for vinyl record collections?

>what can be done to stop this
English doesn't have a central final authority to appeal to. As a result, any group or organization can declare their expertise and lay out their authoritative vision of lunacy.
Solutions?
1. Ditch English for French.
2. Global thermonuclear war.
3. Existential counter-kink scenario. An alien invasion of a sexy all female anthropomorphic ratfolk femdom interstellar empire. That's probably the most likely to succeed option.
