>>Lets see: Widespread plagiarism artistic borrowing, a lack of artistic unity, a lack of professional quality in works that are presented as such (hello vanity publishing/sonichu copyright), self promotion in unrelated places, and a superpowered SI surrounded by boyfriend free girls women to make up for an underwhelming real life... Yeah, it's like I'm reading Sonichu© light. We've even got the same regurgitation of tv lines.

Getting money for writing and vanity publishing with the hope that it will net you money isn't the same thing and I don’t think I’ve ever heard of someone making a consequential amount through the second way.
Self-publishing is the new big thing in media. Although web-publishing may never replace the dead-tree format, many entrepreneurs have made a go of it.
