     @Hoss @sun The Wheel of Time is the best fantasy series that I will never recommended to anyone. The characters, worldbuilding, and story are all kino. The Battle of Dumai's Wells is absolutely peak.
     
     BUT the pacing is awful, and there's large stretches where nothing happens. 10/10 fantasy series, don't read it.

     @sun You just made me realize something. Reducing piracy did nothing to improve the quality of entertainment media.

     There's been less piracy in games (thanks to Valve and GoG), movies and TV series (thanks to Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO Max, Disney+, etc.), and music (thanks to iTunes and other music streaming), and yet the quality of entertainment has dropped more and more.

     Anyone trying to argue that piracy reduces the revenue for the people involved in these productions, and thus leaves them with less money with which to fund good future projects and harming the quality of entertainment, has been debunked.

     If anything, there might be a better argument to be made for the reverse. The threat of piracy is more likely to force producers to make good shit, because people are more likely to want to spend money and reward people who make good shit, even if they could get it for free.
