It isn't any better if you actually read in those topics, because most anons making and participating in the threads haven't. Make a thread that requires reference to a specific book or author it'll drop off the catalogue as quickly as any literature thread.
Unfortunately, a lot of crossboarders seem to see /lit/ as a place to have higher quality discussions on the topic of their homeboard, rather than as a literature board.

When you think about it, shouldn't third-worlders have a massive comparative advantage in the international digital service economy (eg, youtube, instagram, etc)? There are no major barriers to entry (perhaps non-native English speaking countries have a barrier to entry in English) and minimal fixed costs. The variable costs should simply be labour costs. And in single person enterprises of the cost of labour is just the cost of living. However, the price that the product (advertising) can be sold at would be identical between a first-world or third-world firm. Which, ceteris paribus, assuming the same revenue, the profit will be far higher for the third-worlder. Further, they should be able to continue operating at lower revenues because their average total costs are so much lower, meaning they will exit the market much later that the comparative first-world firm. So they should be able to make far greater profits, weather price fluctuations far better, and generally their opportunity cost should be tilted in favour of it. Yet, as far as i know (not that i'm particularly knowledgeable of the 'influencer' trends) there is nary a third-worlder in sight (outside of bad tutorial videos). These kind of economics only seem to bear out in regards to scammers (and that may have equally to do with comparative legal advantages). Why isn't every digital service platform dominated by Indians and the like? is there some variable that makes the demand so low that even their huge advantages in costs of production cant produce a comparative advantage?
