First time I’ve ever seen anyone speaking out for publishers and against lending and borrowing. You’re even ignoring how authors only get less than 10% of sales while publishers get 90% or so.
Sure, but on a platform with this many leftists, it wouldn’t be upvoted if the message communicated wasn’t this. They also almost certainly would not expect it to be a successful comment if this wasn’t their intention as well.

I believe they are speaking in jest, hence the comical premise and imagery which is a reversal of a common meme used to criticize capitalism.
Maybe. There’s no real way to know anymore with all the batshit crazy opinions people genuinely hold.

I definitely get this, but sometimes I decide it must be meant as a joke because it’s easier to respect them as a person if it is
Ok. Sometimes I don’t bother trying to tell apart a joke from a real concern. I mean, who knows what a struggling publisher would say. No worries.
