The entire notion of self-publishing is doing a massive disservice to people that won’t realize it until it’s too late. In the same way that open-source tools like Wordpress have turned plenty of damn good content-creators into mediocre code-tinkerers (”Oh, I’ll write more later… I need to go tweak my theme again first…”), self-publishing is convincing otherwise smart people that they should take on every aspect of the publishing workflow.
