Retweeting help needed

Thanks to Amazon algorithmic fuckery, [twitter.com profile] ZoeChantebooks's books (some of whose covers I do, so I have a personal stake here!) have been banned despite multiple proofs of copyright ownership, and nobody at Amazon is listening. So the Zoe Chant authors are raising a social media fuss, because that's the only way things get done nowadays, sigh. If you've got a Twitter or other social media account, retweets and reposts that @ Amazon are appreciated!

I'm almost impressed by the number of shills in the Twitter comments for one specific scammer. Too much unexamined bot.

The NFTs? I clicked on the twitter thread this morning and there were so many people saying to publish with some NFT thing.

Sorry, I was behind on checking DW and didn't see this until after it was resolved. But I certainly would have put in my $0.02 if still needed!

And, yeah, as an Amazon-exclusive writer, that's my personal nightmare. That outfit is too big to handle errors easily, or to fix them without someone having some leverage to get access to humans.
