This is a YouTube video titled "The Truth Behind New York Times Bestsellers" containing a multi-speaker discussion about the factors influencing New York Times bestseller status, including the roles of publishers and audience sales. The speakers analyze the value and implications of achieving bestseller status.
So when you start listing all these things out, if you were to just be really brutally honest, like who got you New York Times? Was it you or was it the publisher?
The publisher unlocked the ability to be on the list. But it was really our audience that drove the sales to get on the list.
Yes. Okay. So then you start doing the math. So, okay, you got the status symbol. Once a New York Times bestseller, always a New York Times bestseller. So you don't need to play that game anymore. Right.
I don't think there's much value being a two times New York.
Yeah, exactly. So it's like, who cares?
Or like Tim Ferriss the thing or whatever.
Exactly.
