      ​@@angelah7375A writer considered great by many. I know artistic preferences are personal, so you need not like all great writers (I don't care for Scott Fitzgerald, for example) but you didn't "waste" your time. You discovered you don't care for this author. You show selfishness in that this CZcams creator worked on behalf of all of us.
