I don't know who this person is or what they're responding to, but I agree with what they're saying. I'm okay with supporting zine projects that never materialize, and I'm always amazed when they do. It's so easy for something to go wrong on these projects, even if everyone involved is a good person with good intentions.
And, at the same time, I love zine projects that are just a handful of people making a PDF together. Putting the morass of semi-professional platforms like Kindle Unlimited aside, I feel like we're living in a golden age of DIY publications, and I'm having a great time enjoying everyone's art and stories.
