>“This is one of the few ways that publishing has evolved into the 21st century, by having to listen to people’s immediate reaction to what they’re publishing,” she said.

I find it extremely sad that this is broadly phrased as something positive. Just consider how many great works of literature were publicly dammed and published regardless only to be redeemed decades or centuries later. Setting a precedent, even just a moral one, that public outcry should be considered when deciding on publishing is absolutely horrible.
