like to charge reblog to make airbnb die faster

airbnb used to be a nice little side gig for when people had an extra room they wanted to rent out for an occasional weekend because their kid went off to college, or to let people stay in their camping cabin in the off-seasons, just simple hospitality and such. but then the landlord types got the big idea to buy up properties and do all that stupid nonsense in attempts for profit, and since hotels would fill up quick in vacation cities, they did have “success” in that for a bit. and then they just bought more and more and made things worse until hey guess what, everyone’s sick of your shit and there’s vacancy at hotels again.

landlords can get fucked

The funny part is that this is literally just the free market working. If your thing sucks, people can decide to not buy it

This came as a result of Light Novel publishers believing that people don’t read the blurbs on the back of the books. So their answer to this was to…. make the blurb the title.

Despite this, however, Light novels with overly long titles have very rarely topped in the best sellers, as the books that sell still tend to sell the best are ones with more traditional short titles.

So of course this trend has no bled over into manga as well because if something bullshit insane marketing scheme is proven to have no real effect other than to confuse and frustrate its consumer you gotta spread that shit to EVERYTHING.

Oh this is just the first page.
