I am very perplexed.
It's not the first time that Publishers, I have large networks of Films and TV series, decide the destinies of authors etc, based solely on the screams coming from social media.
I don't think it's correct, it doesn't matter if a product is good, social networks say no, and all your work should be trashed.
I'll be me, I'm too old, but I have the impression that the number of followers matters more than the quality of a product.
I am always happier not to advertise my books, and to write them under a false name..
social media can be a wonderful tool, of help, and solidarity, but instead they are used very badly.
