How did this series reach the level of success it has? How can I replicate Gardener's results?

It's just a forced meme. Keep buying ads, making threads, and posting replies about your garbage books on this very board. Eventually retards like yourself will start talking about it.

>> No.17436763

>>17436749
calling it a forced meme is giving it too much credit. usually a forced meme is at least the product of multiple people. gardner is just a faggot with a VPN. if I made 300 threads shilling my garbage i'd be a "forced meme" too.

I've seen other books advertised here before. There must be more than that.

>>17436998
yes it's called making 10 threads a day and posing as multiple people using VPNs and doing it for several months. most people have enough self-respect to simply put up the ad and call it a day, but a select few people have misaligned brain chemistry and resort to things like shilling. but you already knew this, didn't you gardner?

You guys are way off track. There was a discord channel being advertised on here around a week ago. I joined it and Gardner's in there. I didn't believe it was him at first, but eventually he posted some proof (timestamped photos of his book covers and manuscripts.)
He doesn't even know he's a meme. In fact I think he might be concerned about it. He didn't strike me as someone who even knows what a VPN is.
He's just some dude who advertised on here and things kind of went too far.

You can see the chat yourself, if you don't believe me. The discord is for /SIG/ Self Improvement General. The date of the convo is 1/27 in the literature sub chat on the channel.

I find it easier to believe that F Gardener is just a regular guy who has been relentlessly shitposted than that he is so obsessive as to use dozens of VPN's and make hundreds of threads.

The VNP conspiracy is obviously nonsense. As for a single guy making all of these threads, it's not realistic. Even if he had nothing to do but that, he'd get banned constantly. And if he had accomplished that much the odds of him not being permabanned are remote.
It's a combination of the actual fans he has and weirdos out there who have been impersonating him and other stuff like that. Don't think that happens? Just look at Chris-Chan.

a vpn is 20 bucks a month or less. a drop in the bucket compared to running ads here non stop. just fuck off already

How are your posts not taken down for advertising? Are you paying the janitors? Stop shilling your books. Fuck you.
Also, the janitors aren’t supposed to be receiving money. You’re practically feeding raccoons or making eye contact with heroin junkies. They will replicate.

The thing about this is weird, but I've finally figured it out.
In the same way H.P. Lovecraft is only truly scary if you're an early 20th century guy with the same racial hangups (oh no an italian i'm going insane, help me niggerman), People Mover might only work if you're from that specific modern strain of mormonism that for some reason people in the outer-SLC region are.

It's not Gardener running these ads, you fools. It's someone trying to destroy his reputation and turn him into a meme. There have been threads about this before confirming this. What better way to ruin a writing career than to convince everyone else they're a shill?

Gardner is hilarious and loveable and I have pretended to be him. I have never even read his books and yet I shill them. They are the perfect thing to shill. The covers are in crayon. The quality? Who cares. He is some guy on /lit/ who put in the effort to write five books. I will shill him until my death. Anyone who works that hard to bring us his creative output deserves my shilling. I hope Call of the Crocodile gets a movie deal and I also hope it was actually good. But if it wasn't? Gardner, you were a worthy meme no matter what.
