I remember reading a melodrama from the 1800s where the protagonist, a failed writer, makes a deal with the devil to have a bestselling book. In the second half he becomes wildly successful, but is tortured by the knowledge that he is genuinely mediocre. It always stuck with me. Reminds me of people buying Likes.
LEGITIMATE INTEREST!!
He looked beneath his shirt today
There was a wound in his flesh so deep and wide
From the wound a lovely flower grew
From somewhere deep inside
He turned around to face his mother
To show her the wound in his breast that burned like a brand
But the sword that cut him open
Was the sword in his mother's hand

Moderate condition, ex-library so there are stamps and labels. However it's about 120 years old and a first edition. There was one for sale last year, now there are none for sale anywhere in the world, AFAIK. It was the first book of its genre and is recognised as influencing the later masters. Think Poe influencing Conan Doyle. I'm reluctant to mention the details because I don't want it showing up in a search. Sorry to be so cagey! I'd be annoyed by this post myself if I read it.
I've heard some AI experts on Hard Fork suggest 80% of the Internet will be AI bot trash in 2 years.
I buy and sell used books. I came across one nondescript worn hardback in a box and for some reason decided to research it. It's worth five figures. Cost about 25c.

It's a terribly written article. It appears to be a transcript of a news segment. It's almost impossible to follow what the 'scam' is or why Instagram is involved.
