>a book selling a couple of thousand copies is considered a bestseller these days
Are books finished? What's the point if barely anyone reads your stuff? No wonder everyone is e-grifting, there are twitter posts by literal whos with more engagement than the works of most major writers.

>The world that Moyer depicts has its own philosopher, in the shape of Kantbot, a man internet-famous for suggesting in a news interview in New York on US election day 2016 that, among other things, Trump would complete the system of German Idealism, a frankly incredible piece of real-life trolling that is very much worth watching. The roly-poly, glasses-wearing man behind the Twitter-handle is, in all seriousness, perhaps the greatest literary critic of the internet age, and a deeply compassionate man, currently residing in New York, and a master of irony. He reads Friedrich Schlegel on aphorisms. He listens to the young men who write to him in their misery, and sends them reading lists. He writes beautifully: ‘Tweets are shattered remnants of yourself strewn across the plain, the wreck resulting from the collision of the self with existence.’

>Word salad
That's only three sentences with an easily discernible sentiment. It isn't word salad. You're just triggered by it and need an excuse to ignore it.

surprising that a semiotext(e) fan would labor over gender rather than the actual material.
