          Like with any creative work, the amount of attention / money you receive has absolutely nothing to do with either the amount of work you put in or with the quality of the final product. That shit is at least 95% luck. There's just too much of it, you cannot form a niche striking enough to stand out on its own merits, you must get lucky. Someone wrote a shitty AU twilight bdsm fanfiction and then changed the names and published it as a standalone book and not only have you heard of it, it was one of the most well known books of its decade and got a movie adaptation. You can write the best work of literature humanity has ever seen but it'll still probably lose to 50 shades lmao

      She left the View last year and has largely vanished. Conservatives have despised the McCains since 2008. Her only national following was from liberals hand wringing about why she's actually one of the good Republicans and everyone needs to adore and respect her...I guess only because her dad once said Obama is not actually in Al-Qaeda. A particular strain of liberals are pain piggies who love when a mean conservative tells them to move closer to the center or else she'll get mad and leave, and then oh no maybe she'll take a lot of hypothetical votes with her noooo come baaack we'll be good liberals just for you Mrs. McCain please call us radicals again please

      She's not on TV now so no one cares anymore
