I made a reply to another post on here about how algorithms are a huge part in why people don’t go “crate diving” anymore when it comes to music and how similar activities for all forms of media have fallen out of popularity.

With that preamble out of the way, this is more of a temperature check than anything. Do you find yourself primarily as someone who:

A: Reads books based on word of mouth (booktubers, algorithm recommendations, etc).

B: Reads books cold, with nothing more than the cover, blurb written on the book, or vague familiarity pulling you in.

I’m sure most people sit in the middle. But I’m really curious if the modern reader skews more towards A and I’m just in the “old man yells at cloud” camp, or if there are more B enjoyers like myself!

i love teaching this book so much!! let's go year six!!!!
