Tradpub is not great! Indiepub is not great either!

I resent that so much of the conversation surrounding the success of the publishing industry as a whole seems to put stress on individual writers not to expect to be compensated for their work.

I also get the feeling there's also a lot of survivor bias in conversations surrounding the success of individual writers, which doesn't help.

And also I resent that nobody cared about fandom zines being big glossy anthologies until they started included writers. But what can you do.
