Have you ever heard of gacha? This is the entire shtick as I understand it

Reading this makes me yearn for the ability to downvote comments

It's receiving less attention than it merits

You could always post it on a web-serial site like: https://www.royalroad.com

I have seen that to be a viable path to publishing many times now, as well as other benefits like building a community of readers.

Thank you from a long-time hater of Fandom and PE-driven enshittification and lover of community-driven knowledge work

Having given up programming, what do you do now?

Not everyone can buy USA bonds. Is the population of winners and losers all humanity?

Same, but not necessarily due to nationality. It very much depends on the company culture and interpersonal relationship in question

Human attention and energy is relatively limited though, and the medium of the Internet and its control is just for that

I think PhD's are generally different enough in Europe vs the US that this might be less surprising upon further research
