if you’re early to a rare niche, you can make way more than 600%. but depending on the niche, amazon might decide to compete with you (since they have all your sales data), or your supplier sells to anyone so eventually you get 10 competitors, then eventually your margin drops, but you know it is possible to keep your niche a secret for years.

These days you’re guaranteed to be late to almost all possible niches, so if you don’t have some inside knowledge/connection, you’re probably gonna not going to find any niches that aren’t already over-saturated.

The problem is even worse because grifters have moved on to selling “classes” on how to join this money making opportunity (aka scam), conveniently leaving out a.) how late you are to the game and b.) how the market has already pulled up several ladders.

They’re selling lazy wannabe entrepreneurs a get rich quick fantasy that no longer exists and probably wasn’t that great in the first place.

but that he can’t write from the optimistic perspective that these larger than life symbols can inspire us to do good and be better versions of ourselves.

IDK why he’d do that, couldn’t he just write new stories where the superheros are hated by a largely bigoted and uncaring society?

I think this is it, the point isn’t to be right, it’s to get the cat out of the bag ASAP, and while the libs are out chasing it, find another cat to let out of the bag.

There is a 2019 episode of South Park (title: Mexican Joker) on a similar subject, Cartmen gets Kyle deported and the show satirizes how everyone is worried about being called antisemitic for accidentally putting Kyle in a concentration camp but nobody cares about a concentration camp full of brown children. I saw it a really long time ago so I can’t fully vouch it’s free of brainworms.
