I still consider books created by a thousand authors working together for an equal share to be the better choice.

It takes an author too long to write a book. But a thousan people can put out a book a week. Thats fifty two books a year. Yes the market is flooded, but your seversl years to write novel can just as easily be rejected. But one in fifty two might be the book that sells a hundred million copies. Or a billion like harry potter. Sure that gets divided between a thousand contributing writers,
