Writers, on the other hand, don't generally have a motivation to find the readers who will most enjoy their book, since the payoff is higher if more people buy the book. I'm simplifying the motivations in the situation and I don't intend to accuse writers of being evil propagandists, I just think that the mismatch in motivations makes cooperation difficult.Katyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11771780464356547742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15224520.post-78029245119809124752009-10-15T20:24:39.149-07:002009-10-15T20:24:39.149-07:00I haven't read McSweeney's in years.
