I don’t know the full figures for either author, but my own guess is somewhere in the 15 – 25k per month. I think the extra layer is MSE and JAC were also targeted by other authors manually. On this blog when I had the advice from Anthea Sharp about going wide, that’s the reason. Several authors were hit with the ban/suspension hammer after the first wave, but most were reinstated in about a week. AIs typically look for outliers on the field, which is why certain patterns fool AIs, but not humans. When looking at the data for authors who Amazon banned, they have a lot in common with JAC and MSE: Quick releases, big sales, and avid readers. If you want to have a good read on the issue, see here: AIs typically work by looking for information that is an outlier and then using that to make decisions. I think Amazon fed that info of bad behavior through to their AI. Amazon had some kerfuffles with people stuffing books, click-linking to the end, promising rewards to people who would skip to the end, etc.
This is all ad hoc/circumstantial/speculative guessing, but I think two things happened.ġ.) Amazon cracked down on several people scamming the system and fed the data to AIs to look for similar patterns of book sales, page read-through, etc.Ģ.) Other authors deliberately flagged them.
Fans are sending emails to to try to get some traction on there.
If you want to find out what’s going on with Jason, see his blog post here and find out where to get his books.Īnyway, the sad news is both authors have been terminated with Amazon for right now. Thank you, you made this game possible.Tl dr: Sign this petition to get the two authors reinstated.
They believed in us when noone else did and trusted us to make the game all it could be. This list is a thank you to all of our Kickstarter backers.
