The problem isn't that nobody appreciates literature anymore, the problem is that people are becoming more and more unable to appreciate it. No matter how hard they may try (and most won't even do this).

I think the issue is the type of people who will be getting involved. No one wants to become associated with those they despise.

If it was a prestigious institution starting some sort of literature program that meets in person and then posts the book reviews/discussions on youtube or any other streaming site accessible to /lit, /lit would jizz itself not only with validation, but with the quality of discussion being introduced.

People who were drawn towards and watch pewdiepie are the people who are from a culture and mindset that 4chan despises. To introduce /lit's most prized and uniting factors to these people is to threaten the identity that /lit or 4chan has constructed in response to rejecting the values and ways of the "plebs" or "normies".

/Lit must now only hope or trust that the books content will filter out those that were initially despised because to have them assimilate into their culture is to be infiltrated.

This is the reason for the adverse reaction. I think that it is a shame that Pewdiepie is the one introducing people, but I hope that there are good minds who become involved.

I also think that /lit has some sort of superiority complex with these books, where they feel by reading and understanding these books, they are superior to those who were not initially or naturally drawn to them.

"Anyway, that's what I think guys, don't forget to *points to side of video* click on the yellow subscribe button over there and drop me a comment down below with your thoughts. See you next time, when we review Heideggerian rejection of the spoooooky nothing!"

Lol. It's almost comical that they'll be reading the same texts no matter how basic or foundational they are, especially when these people are contrasted with /lit's casual use of "niggers" and holocaust skepticism strewn about.

>> No.11197334

Also, I forgot to add to my post that I watched his video reviewing crime and punishment, and I found his reviews to be quite shallow. He just discusses the plot and anything he likes or doesn't like about the book. It is unclear whether he takes away any message deeper than those presented most apparently.
