Unfortunately, that’s really not how it works. The masses don’t care. Just like Netflix profits increased after the crackdown, most people just use the Reddit app and don’t give a fuck.
Tbh, with how small lemmy is, it’s really not got much draw for most people. I still miss the long conversations and multiple comments. I’ve only seen like 50 comments on here at best.
Bit late to the party, but either Mortal Engines, the Young James Bond series, or Michelle Paver’s Chroncal’s of Ancient Darkness. They were all very engaging and transformative to a young me.
I probably remember parts of Young James bond the best, there’s parts about leeches that really stuck with me. I can still remember Mortal Engines as a whole in great detail, the concept and descriptions of the city chases are fantastic.
