Patricks sales went from 10 to 3 due to lazy consumers

Spoken like someone whose Bookscan numbers suck ass, how can Bookscan be worthless since it provides both print and digital book sales numbers that the retailers themselves are reporting?

I really want to ask how an author, even an amateurish buffoon of one, doesn't understand how basic pillars of his industry work, but this is Fat we're talking about. Fatrick Hamlinson, that is, whose worst crime is that he remains as ignorant as possible about the most astoundingly stupid and easy to understand things
Yeah, this would only be relevant if Rick is self-publishing like Owen A. Forums then there'd be no idea what his sales are unless he told us, but his garbage comes from an actual publisher. He also doesn't realize that he's telling other authors his books are garbage because they will know exactly what an e-book heavy sales profile will say about his books.

Excellent point, which leads me to believe that he may be mainlining that copium, I can't imagine a scenario where the publisher wouldn't tell him all about his sales numbers, or lack thereof (@Boston Brand would they keep it a secret for any reason?)
 
There's also this word of mouth thing. People trust people they know who have read a book and actually go out of their way to recommend it.

Nobody who has read one of Fat Rick's monstrosities would recommend it as anything other than something to prop up a window or the short leg on a wobbly table.

If the paper used to print them is absorbent enough, they could double as toilet paper for backpackers.

I am actually surprised Fat didn’t end up with a windfall during the early panic buying days of the pandemic.

It would be nice to get a book reviewer like krimsonrogue to cover one of fatrick's literary turds, im shure he will take constrictive criticism of his writing well.

It could be a booby prize on a regular review show.
The loser each week has to read and review a Fat book for the next episode.
 
You guys are being too harsh on Rick's books, his poor editor is dyslexic.

They stopped telling him because they were sick of hearing "No child, my books sell in the tens of thousands. Wait quietly for the knock."
 
WHY FATRICK IS THE BEST LOLCOW AT THE MOMENT
Yes - the proximity of "there but for the Grace of God, go I" makes this like a car crash you can't look away from.

PS. Null if you happen to see this it would be nice to have a spell checking feature, because for a lot of us English is our second language and we are shit at spelling. You can also hard code the word "internet" to be always auto corrected with a capital I while at it.
If you're on Chrome or Edge, there's a spellcheck function on Settings----> Languages. You might have to make English your preferred language first though.
 
Every lolcow is called the new Chris-chan eventually. Personally I see Fatshit more like a modern-era DSP or Wings. A Ragecow.
I can see the comparison in regard to Chris being the most trolled man in internet history, but I think Pat stands apart from him, DSP and Wings in that those three were usually only tormented by a very small, very dedicated group of people (I know Chris had lots of different groups fucking with him throughout his various arcs but, so far as I'm aware, they usually came one a time). There's also the fact that those three remain largely unknown in the grand scheme of things. Even Chris is still a relatively niche person of interest; while many people might recognise the name few will ever have had any direct interactions with him.

Pat's legend, meanwhile, has spread so far and so wide (because he is fat) that he is despised by people from virtually all walks of life. If he can be compared to anyone I'd say it's Ethan Ralph because of his ability to piss off absolutely everyone he comes into contact with, but (Yahweh forgive me) even Ralph isn't as caustic as Pat since he usually needs an inciting incident to start acting like a cunt; Pat goes to DefCon 1 on his first interaction with everyone he meets, often completely unprovoked.

TL;DR Pat is possibly the most instantly unlikable man I've ever come across.

I think you're very much on the right track with your comparisons, especially Ralph. But there is one key point that you're missing.

Patrick has almost no allies to speak of, in contrast to the others you named. Even Ralph, for as unpleasant and awful as he is, has people that sympathize with him, and even die hard fans and supporters. Chris had a lot of white knights. Patrick has, what, a handful of the writing crowd that slightly tolerate him for being a member of the same organization? It's pretty remarkable that white trash alcoholic drug-addicted uneducated revenge pornographer criminal 10 grit sandpaper Ralph has enough appeal to get people to genuinely like him, but Patrick is unable to. Says a lot.

As far as Chris goes, I would point out that his being apparently mentally challenged, plus being early on in the lolcow game, really limited the number of people willing to mess with him. Chris established the lolcow industry, whereas now we have 2+ much larger websites with larger userbases than Chris ever had early on that follow Patrick's every move. He's partially paying the price for when he came along, plus he seems much more like fair game to people.
 
I highly suspect this stuff is pay to play. Fork over a few hundred to the producers, they throw you on camera, you get an IMDB credit. It’s like that bullshit Who’s Who scam they used to have.
A few years back there was an issue with actual scientists getting duped into appearing on those stupid discovery channel retard tier "science" shows. They told some shark researchers that they were being interviewed for a show about sharks, but they used the footage in shows about modern day megalodons and some shit about mermaids. Makes sense they would be forced into interviewing actual retards now that everyone credible knows to stay the hell away.

It says something that prior to CWC raping his mother(okay, and probably even after) if anyone texted him like they do pat it would have been bullying a retard at best. I can't really see it being funny at all.

Yet when someone's a cunt to Pat no matter how they do it, my response is almost always 'heh.'

He's just such a tremendous asshole that his ability to garner sympathy from anyone is nil. The only genuine PAT DEFENDER I've ever seen is that one hideous woman on twitter with the tranny kid, and even she didn't notice when he had been banned for months. Can't remember her name at the moment though. Laura/Lauren something maybe.
 
I think you're right about the pay to play, and i also believe that Pat is pretty fucking fat and very fucking gay.
I think SFWA or TOR books may have hooked him up with the gig, acting as his "brand manager" they threw fatty a bone to be on a lowly show nobody will watch and he gets to put science channel contributor in his twitter bio. The other option is these shows' budgets are very low and they might have paid piggy something like a jury wage.

Chris is better at ignoring trolls than Patrick is, if only because Chris is lazy and would rather play video games at this point. Drive by texting doesn’t get to him the way it does Pat. (I mean Chris before he went to jail)

And because people know Chris isn’t going to give reactions like Pat does, it’s not something people do. You could learn from Chris-Chan, Patrick.

(Just as some kiwis don’t understand Patrick and his appeal, it seems to me some brothermen don’t understand Chris)

I think you're forgetting Paul Weimar. I think the more accurate statement would be 'The only genuine PAT DEFENDER I've ever seen - who is not a known or suspected pedophile- is that one hideous woman...'

A writer can usually get his sales numbers from a publisher pretty easy so long as its just thier sales numbers - some even include them with the royalty statements.

Which is another point in favor of Patty boy never having earned out an advance to actually get a royalty check.

In your expert opinion, what are Patrick's chances one of his "on spec" works gets picked up by a publisher? His three-book deals weren't renewed by Angry Robots and Tor respectively, and it sounds like he's burned the Baen bridge.

He'd almost have to self-publish at this point, right?

My normie friends know him as "that fucking paint balloon guy" and it's magical. He strives so hard to go viral and every time he actually does magic happens.
