maybe it also has something to do with the fact that amazon has completely destroyed the brick and mortar retail industry, and not that people who start bookstores are foolish idiots

in the same way that photography business might have been harmed by the massive technological changes in that industry

just trying to point out that there are many different ways to explain this data

(also if OP doesn't want their friends to look at bookstores, maybe they should say that in a non-snooty or roundabout way? just a thought)

DA - This seems like an overreaction. The anon didn't say all bookstore owners are morons, just that people get into it because they romanticize how easy and fun it will be. Also, bookstores have always been a business and businesses were difficult run even before Amazon came along. They've played a major role in decimating indie bookstores, but they're not to blame for everything.

AYRT

These failed businesses were even before the internet. It's just got worse now. Bookshops are an historically risky business, and have been for half a century.

But sorry, reading comprehension fail. The secret said work in a bookshop, not start one. Different thing entirely. Mea culpa.

da

But if you decide you want to go into business and choose one that's become nearly completely obsolete (bookstores and photography in this case), that's basically the very definition of a foolish business decision.

There's a reason teens dreaming of being Hollywood actors is a joke. Some dreams just don't translate well to the real world. Something like 90% of new businesses in the US fail within the first year. it's not that running a successful bookstore or photography studio or hand-made jewelry workshop is impossible, it's that people start this sort of business without a lot of research or understanding of how businesses actually succeed.
