Why do all of these booktubers just read children’s books and only talk about plot? There’s so many of them.

They are fucking idiots.

they get the cultural capital of "being into books" without any of the hassle of trying to understand anything more complex than a text for literal children

Dunno, I saw some yt channel about f anime and it had some cool philosophy theory sprinkled into it. But yes, most of it is f bad.

Because their audience is lazy like them. Anyone who wants to read is going to read. Who doesn't want to read? Children and stunted adults.

because there's nothing interesting and new anymore. get out of tank, look around. what now artists do are remixes, covers, remakes. end of world had come, end of innovation, science. riot!

1. Because they are dumb/shallow/lazy.

2. Because the only real reason they make any content at all is not to educate or entertain their audience, but instead to make money and gain internet fame.

publishers are obviously hiring agencies to cast girls as "booktubers" and shill their books. if you went through individual channels' videos you could probably deduce who's behind them but i'm too lazy to do it myself.

everything is penguin tho so it's penguin.

Because they read genre fiction/YA and ofteb there's not much else to talk about than plot, and that's totally fine.

I think it was this one, anime philosopher.

>> No.15611631

the difference between booktube and lit is that the former actually read books and talk about them, somehow the latter manage to be more shallow, bitchy and status-obsessed than YA reading women
