I clicked a Look Inside and must say the content is slightly more coherent than I thought it would be.

Did you make the list of topics yourself?

Is anybody buying these books?

Is there any pushback from Amazon when trying to add this many products at once?

Do you expect to make money?

I tried to autogenerate the titles optimizing for controversial topics, now it is a mix of autogenerated and manual ones.

The books are enrolled in the "Kindle Unlimited" program, where you get paid per page view and the user only pays a flatrate. There are some views but nothing major.

No pushback from Amazon yet - but I am well aware that that might happen. But it is all unique content and I published them in the "Puns & Wordplay" categories, stating the AI nature in the description. So it might be ok.

I don't expect to make money on this.
