Is /lit/ currently the best place for book recommendations? I find them more trustworthy than Booktok or Bookstagram.
TrueLit is better and actually has patrician taste. /lit/ is full of dimwitted /pol/tards who have read fewer than 30 books in their entire pathetic existence
>>25297716No. Lit is terrible because all this place does is regurgitate the same books over and over. They're deathly afraid of anything written the past 10 years.
you need to be a masterbaiter to bring out the most kino recs from our resident autists
>>25297716>is /pol/ the best news source? I find them more trustworthy than alex jones
can one of you retards explain Booktok and Bookstagram to me?how do they work? how do people use them? can your writing become popular on them? what kind of content do people use them for?4chan is the only sociable media I've ever known but it feels kind of pointless
>>25297816If you never used insta/TT, forget about making a breakthrough. Most influencerers used that crap for years and really minmaxed their SMM game, you can't beat them. And popularity on social media is all about exposure and views
I find twitter to be the most enjoyable place to talk about literature
>>25297816It's a bunch of women talking about smutty books they've read
>>25297721>They're deathly afraid of anything written the past 10 years.Nobody should be reading books written in the last 50 years, let alone 10
>>25297716I mean booktok and Bookstagram is 90% romance/romantacy slop. /lit/ is mostly full of people who suddenly decide they want to read for whatever reason and grinds through the same western canon books, which is why the top 100 hasn't changed in a decade.
Online, the best place is Goodreads once you have followed the right people. But just going to the bookstore or library and browsing is still the best.
>>25297865At least they've read them
/lit/ is the best for very entry level stuff, like top 100 list type content everyone should read, that you want to read to get a footing an establish your taste i know ill get crucified for this, but beyond that, AI is the best place to get recommendations because you can make a prompt with your refined, oddly specific taste and it will comb the entire internet with your oddly specific criteria to put together a list doing this ive gotten recommendations for all sorts of forgotten classics that appeal directly to my own personal taste down to the finest detail of themes, plot and writting tropres etc., books that no one on the internet in any of these forums ever talks about and i never would have found otherwise.
>>25297936>>25297721thisi dont give a fuck about what the bearded guy from 3000 years ago that couldnt tell you what a battery is has to say
>>25297816booktok is 80% female and 10% gay men and 10% "female"
>>25297982so can I use it to get laid or sell books or get a following?
>>25297978you're not old enough to be on this site, zoomer
