Is it just me, or does it feel like Shadiversity is directly addressing Chunk Windbag's Tweets about worldbuilding without naming him at several points in this video? Copied URL at one moment near the end in particular.

In order to remind us how much of a faggot he is, Chuck is trying to Narc on a non-profit organization that provides ebooks to people for free because of the coronavirus

See this shit is why I am so freakin spergy about the whole "the most obnoxious and loudmouthed SJWs dont give two shits about the cause, just lining their own pockets and inflating their own status" thing.
The fucking moment a specimen like wendig thinks he might be getting cheated out of the handful of change that people pay for his sub-fanfic tier literary trash, all that fauxwokeness and all that pretend socialist posteuring will vanish and be replaced by absolute and unfiltered manchild tard rage at the disgusting peasants who would dare to defy him by including his books in a bulk resource for normies in isolation who dont know how to torrent....even though somebody actually called up the numbers on his books use-rate on this thing and found that less than a dozen people have ever read them there
Gaze upon this creature's true face, now the "LOL SO KOOKY! I FIGHT THE FARTY POOP FUCKCHUDS BECAUSE I AM A BADASS ALLY! BLIBBLY WOBBLY OOF YIKES!" facade has been torn away...
This is what lies in the heart of every woke media goon on the fucking planet.
A hateful, spiteful, self important, cringing, bullying retard who makes Chris Chan look like J R R Tolkien in literary talent, Mister Rogers in human decency, and Mel Brooks in comedic wit.

He might as well demand a ban to public libraries at this point. Seriously how retarded can you be? I've been following this cunt sporadically for a long time and he has to be one of the most insufferable people on here. Also lmao don't worry Chuck, no one actually reads your crap so be glad it gets some exposure instead

The Borrow button there means that his books are part of Archive's library system where they partner with libraries and publishers to allow people to "borrow" ebooks completely legally. His books are licensed to appear on Archive.org, no piracy involved. He's attacking a site legally providing his books for "piracy". If he doesn't like, he should take it up with the publisher who actually holds the rights.
This has nothing to do with Archive's system where people can upload their own content, which does have a ton of pirated content on it. It also has a ton of random obscure media that people rely on, such as old magazines and manuals to provide historical context to electronics. All this is still legal on Archive's side as long as Archive complies with the DMCA.

Imagine getting angry over a non-profit giving free ebooks away during an international crisis. What a spiteful and bitter bitch he is over books that are more useful as impromptu toilet paper. He also doesn't know that archiving tends to go into legally gray areas.

What a fucking piece of shit. Organizations are trying to help people keep their minds occupied during a nationwide state of emergency, and all Chuck can do is bitch about how it isn't benefitting him.
Hell, this is actually a great opportunity. With so many people having so much free time on their hands right now, Wendig could develop a far larger pool of readers who are interested in his work. This could actually increase your sales when everything starts getting back to normal.

Ultimately Chunk Windbag doesn't care about literature or literacy, he just cares about his paycheck.

Here's something I found out from doing digging. Chuck is far from the only one in on this "take down archive.org" campaign, it's a lot of broke authors and greedy unions doing the dirty work. Right as Wendig is whining about archive.org and narcing them for hosting scanned ebooks in their library, someone who runs a group called the "Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America" decided to whine about how evil Archive.org is hosting books.

Another person reminded Chuck and pals that the only way to perma borrow the book was with a Daisy encryption key, or via a temporary borrow. Someone who looks like the type of person who'd read his books whines and misses the point of borrowing. Nevermind the fact that archive.org was bending the rules because there's a literal pandemic going on.
Other writer groups are moaning at the fact that people can read them for free. Some random blog about this topic dropped a post whining about it and Chuck's tweet is in it as well.
Also whining about this is the "National Writer's Union" (literally a writer union associated with the AFL-CIO and UAW union groups) which is calling it piracy. They've also wanted to make controlled digital lending a thing of the past and have put out an open letter to Archive.org, along with a bunch of other groups. Another group whining is the The Author's Guild. There's also some whining on Jason Scott's announcement tweet. The same can be found on a tweet of a library group promoting it as well.
Others in the industry are going directly for the heads and sounding a bit like people who talk about how others have names and addresses in the process, while also showing which factions are fighting this online war:

Archive.org has sent a shock through the system of publishing, scaring them as much as a student passing around a pdf file of a textbook or research paper to his classmates so they don't need to spend $200 extra just to take the class. These union leaders, publishers, and more are scared at the thought of an online library, especially one with unlimited borrowing. Notice how it's mostly authors and their allies whining however, because the average normie is like "wow cool I can download book for free".
It's going to be a interesting shitstorm to see because there are a lot of powerful people in the publishing industry shaking in their boots.

^ I know my local library has some digital lending thing, I've never tried it because their digital security is shit. This amount of butthurt didn't form in a day, they've been waiting for their moment to REE. Of course the twitter commie squad is butthurt at the idea of somebody treating disposable pop fiction as a disposable thing. I wonder how long you would have to scroll through their SM feeds to find them linking to pirated A/V content, or people/websites that stretch "fair use" as far as they possibly can to make click money off of pirated corporate media content.

It depends, there's plenty of commies and other leftists out there who have a "fuck copyright laws" mindset and most of the books on archive.org's library project are in fact out of print. Hell, I know for a fact that some of the people behind archive.org lean that way politically. There are exceptions with books that have been in print for ages and all but it'd be a real fucking shame if archive.org were to get fucked because some hack writers were whining about piracy.^ I know my local library has some digital lending thing, I've never tried it because their digital security is shit. This amount of butthurt didn't form in a day, they've been waiting for their moment to REE.
There's definitely groups using this disposable pop fiction as a latching ground to take down valuable content from archive.org however and that's what's worrying. Nobody will mourn the loss of a Chuck Wendig book from archive.org, but people will mourn some obscure book that was scanned on archive.org. This sounds like corporations complaining about a new business model (and missing the point of archive.org) instead of embracing it. They don't know why archive.org would do what they'd do, they only see dollar signs.
Plus if you really wanted to pirate ebooks, there are numerous other ways you can do that which do not involve archive.org.

How much money are these people even making off of their books when I've never heard of any of them? Greedy fucks can't embrace the fact their business model is dying worse than a 90 year old chain smoker with AIDS in Wuhan. Be glad someone even wants to "pirate" (if this is piracy then the library must be theft) your book at all.
I do know who Chuck Wendig is and he's a colossal faggot. Here's some ebooks of his you can read for free just in case Internet Archive takes them down and you're really wanting to eat a boot full of shit.
