I'm deeply amused at the idea of short fiction as a get rich quick scheme. It's not even a get rich slow scheme. (Although here's hoping for a solution to quickly filter out AI generated slush.)
Like your post here again. All I can say is that these days it's all about marketing, which is very powerful. Marketing determines everything, not the quality or content.
So sorry about the Bookforum archive being shut down. If the reason was financial, before they shut it down, they should look for a solution, such as starting a fundraising campaign and I'm sure readers, subscribers would fund it and they wouldn't have to shut it down. I have hope, sometimes they shut it down due to temporary reasons and come back online after a month etc.

I’m still alive! Can I be featured. Nominate me! Or is that gauche. And in case you can’t tell my tone in the comment I loved this post.
