Excellent, thanks for the comprehensive answer!

Is there an app or site used to create these?

Except I am also severely frustrated by how crappy they are, with 50% of my checkouts requiring pressing the bloody assistance button.

Geez, they couldn’t write an article about the strike and the issues rather than how “runway-ready” she looks in a t-shirt?

What’s Pico?

Since my books are for TTRPGs, selling on DriveThruRPG has been better by far. I’ve made hundreds of dollars from there and under $10 on Amazon. Amazon tricks authors by allowing them to publish there then pushing those authors to pay to advertise their own books…which I did, but made zero difference. I’m also on Barnes and Noble, but made no money at all there.

However, as an author I’ve used their services to print copies of my books to put in games stores and that’s been very cost effective and made me decent money.

That’s not a bad idea. I’ll message you with a link. Won’t be Amazon, but what I’ll send you is there as well. I make zero money from Amazon sales. It’s a terrible platform for minor authors.

But if I tell you, I doxx myself :)

That is truly a terrible idea, and Amazon should be liable since they do exercise control over what they sell (which I know, because I have two books for sale there).

I was born in 1970 and have steadily grown more and more toward the left. Mainly that’s because the right has gone completely insane.

So…I own a .com domain that’s really, really good as far as being lemmy-related (it has lemmy in the name).

Not exactly a s self-hosted question, and I’m an old geek so I can arrange hosting and set things up myself when I have time, but anyone have a guess as to my traffic costs if I decide to turn it into a federated lemmy instance and open it up to the public? Just looking for thoughts and opinions.

Don’t forget the hidden cams. That’s part of why we don’t use AirBNB.

They should hold a fundraiser…maybe mint some NFTs and sell them…

I just know that I slept with an 8 foot tall version of Cher last night.

To the death?

Please?
