"back then", you had to write for months to get a book out, and it sold 20 copies and you earned $20.

Now you can do it in minutes, get 50 books out, 20 of them sell 10 copies, you've earned $200.

(i might be exaggerating the times and earnings, but the point stands)

I had about 2000 hours invested in a few books. I think I have made less than $2/hour so far after all the years.
