I found out about this whole thing through Swell Entertainment's video brief cover of the whole thing and its utterly NUTS. She had everything on a silver platter in terms of debut book releases (including an Illumicrate deal), and throw it all away on Goodreads of all things.
I didn't think anyone took Goodreads that seriously - I literally only ever go on there to skim through listings for potential recs and maybe look at a collection of reviews after reading a book. Do people really take it that seriously??

I feel like this situation is a result of fandom culture.

Fandomers, especially ones really into BNF status and being seen in fandom, are caught up in Main Character Syndrome, so even when things happen beyond most people's wildest dreams (such as finding a way to become a publisted author) they are still operating at "I need to be Top BNF Bitch" mentality.
And well...you see how some fandomers take things way too far.
I think they have lost a bit of touch with reality.
In that not everything needs to be great only for You, the individual. You are still a functioning member in society, there are other people who exist and their experiences matter too.
Like...not even joking, I think some people in fandom spaces have this disconnect with reality and take their POV as the only thing that matters.
