How come the rate of readership keeps declining but Barnes and Noble just keeps getting more popular over time
>>24982301Money laundering
>>24982301You realize that they literally sell nick nacks, toys, puzzles and other stupid, useless shit alongside COFFEE AND PASTRIES right?Are you fucking stupid? Use your brain.
>>24982309Some of them even sell movies and boxed TV shows and records n' CDs and shit. OP is just an idiot.
>>24982301Population increase with 3rd worlders. So the data is a bit skewed. Of you import a bunch of illiterate somolis, the total number of people not reading increases.But book sales are increasing overall and few people are either reading a shit load (romantasy) and some are starting to dabble in reading again (right wingers and their self help + influencers telling everyone to read brothers karamazov)
>>24982325>somolisfriendly fire will not be tolerated!
>>24982325>Of you import a bunch of illiterate somolisLMAO
>>24982301Indirect government subsidies.
>>24982301Moids have turned the establishment into a pick up spot
>>24982353Why do women do this shit?
>>24982356Social conditioning
>>24982356Attention and validation. Those are literally the only things modern women live for.>But she's acting creeped ou-Yes, for the sake of attention and validation.>But that doesn't make any se-It's a woman. Sense doesn't exist here.
Library is full of homeless men jerking off. Barns and Noble has starbucks in there. Also zoomoids don't drink alcohol so bars arent really a third space for them.
>>24982353America is a circus
>>24982356Not just women but (almost) everyone is like that nowadays. People like fantasizing I guess. Also , the reason religion/ nationalism/spirituality/tribalism don’t go out of fashion for >10000 years now.
>>24982356Never noticed how the majority of social media reels are just people having arguments with themselves in their cars, huh?This is what western society IS now.
I miss Hastings...
>6/10 thinks she's being gangstalked D'awww.... bless her lil' heart.
>>24982353Women are the closest things we have to aliens on this planet. So genetically similar but mentally alien.It's fucking insane.
>>24982301it is just star bucks with books(porn for foids)
>>24982301I often chat with a local bookstore owner who always laments that fewer and fewer people are coming in looking for literature and philosophy books, and more and more people are coming in looking for self-help and tiktok books he's never heard of.
>>24982301As people read less B&N sells more and more toys and non book items
>>24982301Women are supposedly reading more than they ever have. Guess who also buys useless junk?
They've adjusted to fit with the times, next time you go compare the current stock to what they carried prior.One near me has continually expanded the non book area, adding toys, board games, and music shelves.They also have added tables with alot of romance books and the latest best sellers. I also wanna say the anime section got bigger but it kinda runs into the young adult stuff and I don't read any of it so dont go over there much except for bathroom or a scifi bookHistory section has gotten reduced multiple times and books swapped out from a good variety of time periods to mainly just English royalty and hitler. Only section that seems to have remained consistent is the general fiction section which has classics mixed in with the sea of random stuff. Sad but if thats what keeps them in business I can't blame them for doing it.
I bought the five nights at freddy’s book there
>>24982325Right-wing analysis of how their societies work is now just >uhhh they imported 20 million Somalis but lied about the numbers and they keep the economy aliveElon and Xitter have completely and utterly rotted your fucking retard brains beyond repair.
>>24982301Millennials and Zoomers want to pursue "offline" hobbies instead of spending hours scrolling on social media, and reading physical books is one with the lowest bar of entry. Ironically, they got the idea to read more from social media.
>>24982353Zoomer women will simultaneously pity themselves for not being able to find or meet any man who wants a relationship and then have a meltdown when they see any male exist in public society. The worst generation of humans who have ever lived
>>24982301terminally online retards are excited about the "resurgence" of barnes & nobles because they think it'll "finally" offer a "third space." lollmao even
>>24982411>Women are supposedly reading more than they ever have. Guess who also buys useless junk?A buddy of mine worked in a used book store and learned a lot about romance because women would come in with big plastic tubs full of used romance novels, trade them in, then load the tubs back up and repeat the cycle.>>24982622>uhhh they imported 20 million Somalis but lied about the numbers and they keep the economy alive>Elon and Xitter have completely and utterly rotted your fucking retard brains beyond repair.Hahaha>>24982353>Moids have turned the establishment into a pick up spotI got my dick sucked by a Barnes & Noble employee once but Im gay. >>24982681>terminally online retards are excited about the "resurgence" of barnes & nobles because they think it'll "finally" offer a "third space.">lol>lmao evenhttps://youtu.be/ORbseYAkzRM

>>24982353It’s funny how none of these alleged men are featured in the video. They really exist though, right?
how do i become a performative male?
>>24982353Whenever, I'm shopping for books, I make sure to scowl at women so they know I'm not interested.
>>24982301Old people went to libraries. Young people think sharing is icky.
I just paid $15 for a hardcover War and Peace that is a unique Barnes and Noble edition but all the text is tiny as fuck, the paper is super thin and there isn't even a mentioned translator. I only bought it because I didn't want to seem awkward with my friend not buying anything I'm fucking pissed
>>24982802Just return it if you still have the receipt. This is why you should think before you just go ahead and do things
>>24982301>the rate of readership keeps decliningNah, the rate of literacy is declining. Readership is, as always, higher in younger people.Picrel is from Europe (I can't find any public org doing statistics for the US).>Barnes and Noble just keeps getting more popular over timeBecause Amazon smells like corporate slop. Barnes and Nobles is more sovlfvl.
>>24982309>nick nacksI hate Americans so much.
>>24982899>pic -women mostly read slop fiction-the industry is controlled by people that hate white men and don’t produce any books for them.
>>24982301Did they start selling vibrators, buttplugs, and dildo disinfectant like Indigo?
