OK, look, you're not going to like this, but it's the truth.

Big publishers will beat a trope to death. They will keep making authors churn this stuff out until nobody is buying it. And yes, big publishers do often buy what's popular right now...even if it's not very good, just to earn money. Wait, they're greedy assholes? Yes, a lot of times, yes.

If you want original, good storytelling you will SOMETIMES have to leap outside your box and try independent authors. Yes, you might get burned sometimes. But indie authors are far more likely to be willing to try new things, to write the stories they want even if it can't fit into a Hunger Games (etc) mold.

If you want original stories, and want them to succeed, you need to find and support them, not wait for the big publishers to start choosing better content. They most likely won't. They want "the next Harry Potter" or "the next Hunger Games," not small name but original content. They have proven that in the way they treat authors for years.

If the love triangles with a super special white girl sell...then many people will write that. Some will even write it well.

But yeah, I don't even bother with YA anymore because I'm just not interested in a romance with teens.
