    now I’m wondering if there’s a hall of shame for all the scams, woo, and garbage that’s been caught buying its way onto the NYT bestseller list. it doesn’t even take a lot of money to game the damn thing — I vaguely remember a couple of D-tier fanfic authors breaking into writing novels by throwing money away to get on the list

      there’s no list in wikipedia, but it’d be a great project

      I believe the way it’s weighted you just need 1k to 2k sales a week for a few weeks.
