I lean toward "efficient entertainment", but I do sometimes wonder what that chunk of my free time would look like otherwise.

I’d like to see the author prove that beetle counting is more productive than creating game tutorials. People make all kinds of baseless assumptions that are biased by their personal values.

Since we live under the hell that is capitalism, I'd argue the game tutorials are better!

  • Revenue generation via ad views
  • Will likely encourage additional sold copies from people that stumble on the series

  • A book about beetles in some niche village somewhere no one will ever go.

 

Fuck your beetles.

(this is a joke, beetles are cool)
