It's crazy that a bestseller (Grant) sold 382k copies. That's a rounding error for Mr. Beast.
Who's buying? It could be their customers were boomers, who are dying. What are they doing to bring in new customers?
The answer: nothing.
The book industry is surprisingly bad at marketing, given how big it is/was.
I think that's just a nature of the type of entertainment. Reading is harder than watching, and so comparing the two will always lead you to that conclusion.
